| John has been the clubs number one keeper for the past three seasons, and during his absences like his trip to Oz has proved very difficult to replace. He comes with a high pedigree being a member of the all conquering Abbey Rangers team that led to him achieving District and County recognition. His main strengths are that he's a very good shot stopper and strong when in one on one situations and has an calm temprement, this could be down to the fact that he apprently finds playing boring. Where he falls down is on crosses and high balls, not being the tallest or biggest of keepers John has provided us with several humourous lobs and close calls, these are
normally met with a nervous cry of Oh S**t !!! as he back peddles towards goal. John assures us that the 2003-04 was going to be his last but knowing how much he loves the glory were confident he'll be recruited back into the fold.
