MICHAEL CRAMMOND
Entrepreneur Michael has made a big impact on and off the pitch since joining the club at the start of the season. Formerly with Grimsby Town, Nottingham Forest and most recently with Blyth Spartans, Michael has rediscovered his passion and confidence playing for the Green and Black. He has firmly established himself as first choice keeper and probably only one time guest keeper Andy Cutts can challenge him as Alltime Number 1.

RICHARD CUSWORTH
Skipper Cussy has been rejuvenated since moving to the right back spot and has produced the best football of his Garnett career this season, his fifth with the club. His comeback is an example to all in the club as he spent last season in the Reserves after spending most of his first three seasons in the 1st team midfield. Rich who has over 150 appearances for the club, has worked very hard on his fitness and has reveled in the responsibilities of captaincy.

PETER CURTIS
Sixth year veteran Peter has made the left back his spot his own. An ex-junior international athlete, centurion Peter is in Paddy's Alltime Team of the 90's and been narrow runner up as Player of the Year for the last two seasons. After spending his first three years at Garnett sweeping, Peter has excelled as a left back and even added goals scoring prowess to his list of talents.

SEAN CAVANAGH
Ex-Newcastle University captain Shaun has made a massive impression since joining the Green and Black at the start of the season. The club is delighted to have such a talented and committed player on their books. Shaun is a physically imposing centre half with pure footballing ability, a rare combination at any level. One of the first to pay his subs and an ever present at training, Shaun has quickly settled in and will hopefully stay with the club while his work keeps him in the North East.

JAMES "TART" ALMOND
Loyal clubman Tart has been playing regularly again this season, his fifth with the club, after spending most of last season working overseas. Player of the Year in his first season, Tart has been a regular in the first team when available. Tart is an excellent defender especially proficient at the man-to-man marking role but he can also capably filled in at centre half and at either full back. This season with influx of so many talented players over the last couple of years he faces his first real challenge to hold a regular place. Centurion Tart has been one of the hardest working players off the field, especially at Benson Park.

ALEX MARTIN
Youngster Alex has done tremendously well this season, only his second with the club, to win the coveted slot alongside Cavanagh at the heart of the defence. Alex spent lat season learning in the Reserves and has grabbed his chance this season when the unfortunate Tom Webb was out injured. Alex's total commitment on the pitch and at training will make him a hard man to shift but he knows with talented players like Webb, Almond and Reserve team centre halves Adam Alexander and Norwegian Christian Ossarwy after his place he has to maintain a consistently high level of performance.


TOM WEBB
Tom has been very unlucky this season after being run a way Player of the Year for the Reserves and impressing in an end of season trial with 1st team he started the season as first choice centre half. Unfortunately an injury sustained at the end of last season prevented him taking this place and the rapidly improving Alex Martin has grabbed his spot. Webby has reacted in the right way by turning in some excellent performances for the Reserves and is still very much in the 1st team picture.

ANDY LOGAN
Talented ball player Logan is in his fourth season with the club and gives the team much needed balance on the right hand side of midfield. One of the best passers and strikers of the ball in the club, Logan is always a danger from set pieces. Logan joined the club in his first year at University and rapidly secured a first team place after impressive performances in the B team. He spent most of his second year in Reserves before winning a place back in the first team at the end of last season after spending the first part of the season playing only on a Wednesday.


TIM BURKE-MURPHY
Midfield dynamo Tim is in his second season in the first team after spending his fresher season learning the ropes under Pollard in Reserves. Tim excels in the centre of midfield where his non-stop running and willingness to do the donkeywork has won him the respect of all his teammates. In addition to his playing abilities Tim has efficiently served as Student Secretary for the last two seasons, proving himself to be one of the club's best ever administrators.

DAVID MERCER
Dave is an example to all at the club. He has made himself an integral part of the side through his sheer determination to win and improve. Dave is the fittest player at the club and his hard tackling makes him an ideal midfield ball winner. Dave has worked very hard to improve his technical ability and now bares no resemblance to the raw player who joined the club three seasons ago. Dave's commitment to the Green and Black runs off the field where along with Tart and Rowson he has willingly given up time to work on the pitch.

NEIL HINDLEY
Squeaky clean, Neil has been reborn this season and firmly established himself in the squad. This is second time round for Neil who left the club under somewhat of a cloud after his first season. He has come back with a vengeance this season after a few games in the Reserves last year. He has worked really hard to get match fit and as a result been one of the team's most consistent performers this season. His passing abilities are best suited to a central midfield role but he has the technical ability to play wide on either side of midfield. In addition to his footballing abilities, Neil has been great for team spirit with his bar room banter and will always be remembered as the man who brought Shaun Cavanagh to the Green and Black. Jason Thompson and "Taff" Alexander are other players in the Hindley stable.

CRAIG ROWSON
The ever reliable, Rowson is the consummate Garnett player, totally dedicated to the cause, hardworking on and off the pitch. Rowson gives the side much needed balance on the left of midfield though he can more than competently fill in at left back or centre of midfield. Rowson has proved to be one of the first names on the team sheet since the return of Paddy as manager. Let it never be forgotten that Rowson was the only man prepared to take over the Tyneside Amateur League secretarial role at the start of last season hence single handedly saved the 1st team from extinction.

RICHARD WATSON
Newcomer Rich has made an immediate impression after joining the club early in the season after two seasons with Chem Eng. Rich's attitude at training has been excellent and this with impressive performances in Reserves has given him a chance in 1st team. His dribbling ability and industry are ideally suited to a wide midfield position. Rich has impressed in his early performances for 1st team and Logan will now know he has real competition for his place.

DAVID ALEXANDER
Talented youngster David has continued to improve at a rapid rate this season, his second with the Green and Black. A supremely skilled ball player, David is learning the importance of releasing the ball and shooting early to good effect. Still growing into his frame, David still lacks strength but makes up for this with his workrate and passion for the game. After starting off his fresher season in the third team, his talent was quickly recognized and he became a regular in the 1st team squad. After being nursed along last year, David has made the number 10 shirt his own in this his second season, and after ten games of the season was the only member of the squad to start every game and play every minute.

MARK ROGERS
Versatile left footed youngster Mark, has quietly won himself a regular place in the first team squad. Like David Alexander he started in one of the lower teams as a fresher last season but good performances and attitude towards training secured a place in the 1st team. Another very industrious and committed player with an excellent footballing brain. Unfortunately, childhood illness mumps knocked mark out of action until Christmas after he was involved in the first four games of the season.

DANNY SHERWOOD
The most prolific striker in the club's history, Danny has returned to the Green and Black to start "enjoying it again". Danny had scored 174 goals for the club prior to the season and will be looking to break the 200 barrier by the end of it. Danny has been playing in the Northern Alliance Premier League for the last season and bit and proved himself capable of scoring at that level but he has come back to where his heart is. With the talented teenager David Alexander and Geordie whippet Jason Thompson challenging him for the two striking positions, Danny knows he will have to work hard to wear his favourite number 9 shirt.


JASON THOMPSON
Geordie whippet, Jason learned his football many years ago under Paddy's management in Heathfield School's Under 15 B team. By amazing coincidence he has now arrived at the Green and Black. A diminutive striker with a blazing turn of pace and quick feet, Jason has caused problems to every defence he has encountered. Still very inexperienced at this level, Jason has the potential to be a prolific scorer.

DAN CORCORAN
Little left winger of many names, and a product of the Newcastle United youth academy, Dan is an enormously talented footballer. Quick, and agile, he has an excellent left foot, and is capable of scoring great goals, and providing excellent delivery from set pieces. The opposition hate it when he dribbles, you can see it all over their faces.
