CRAIG GRACIE (GK) Debut 2001
A promising young keeper in his first season of senior football, Craig has temporarily joined the club after spells in the Nothern Alliance Premier League with Benfield and Seatol Delavel. Hopefully Craig can be persuaded to solve the goalkeeping crisis of all goalkeeping crises.

SAMMY HAILLAY (GK) Debut 1994
Garnett legend. Talented shot stopper and ex 1st team regular Sammy, has made his comeback this season after several years out of action due to a near fatal stabbing on a Garnett night out. Apart from his bar room antics, Sammy will remain inbedded in Garnett folklore as the manager who led the Green and Black to their "Perfect Season" of 1998-99, when Garnett won every game in Corinthian Division II and the long awaited and elusive first Cup victory. For good measure Sammy followed up with the Division 1 Championship the following season before overseeing the club's inaugural season in the Tyneside Amateur League. Sammy stepped down at the end of last season due to his off field commitments but has remained the club's most passionate supporter and readily agreed to help out in nets or on the bench when available.

LEE ELLIOTT (CB/CM+GK) Debut 2001
One of only a few Mackems ever to play for the club the "old, bald guy" has made a positive impression since joining the club before Christmas from Annfield Plain in the Vaux Wearside League. A highly committed defender equally home at right back or in the centre Lee has won a regular place in the 1st team.

"ROGER" MILLER (CB R/LB) Debut 1992
A Garnett legend, Roger's commitment to the Garnett cause both on and off the pitch is unmatched in the history of the Green and Black. Now in his 10th season with his only club, Roger recently reached the magical double centurion mark only previously reached by three others. If it were not for an injuries Roger would be the most "capped" Garnett player. A tough tackling defender Roger won a place back in the 1st team squad this season, after a couple of years in the B team. Unfortunately after a promising start to the campaign, Roger has once again suffered from injury and lost his place in starting 11 for now.

PETER CURTIS (CB/LB/SW) Debut 1997
One of the best defenders ever to pull on a Green and Black shirt, Peter has been a revelation since moving from sweeper to left back this season. He has even added goalscoring ability to his already wide array of talents. Peter was a regular member of both Corinthian Championship teams and played in Garnett's only ever winning Cup Final in 1999. Now in his 5th season with the club, Peter was selected as left back for Paddy's Alltime Garnett Team of 1990's.

TIM CARNLEY (CB/CM) Debut 1999
After a couple of year in the Reserve team and on the fringes of the 1st team Tim has finally established himself as 1st team regular this season. A footballing defender of genuine class, Tim has been in outstanding form this season growing in confidence with each game and was badly missed when he was out for five games with knee ligament damage. Tim has to be Ibbo's greatest ever signing.

MORTEN GABRIELSEN (CM/CB) Debut 2001
The first of the Norwegians who joined the club at the start of the 2000-001, after a year playing for the University of Northumbria, Morten started the Viking invasion, which has been responsible for much of the success of the team this season. A highly skilled and composed midfield playmaker, Morten has excelled since being moved to the centre of defence.

CHRISTIAN VALENZA (CM/CB/CF) Debut 2000
The second of the Norwegians, Christian is an inspiration to all in the club whether at training or on the pitch. A strong physical player and ultimate team man, Christian will play anywhere for the good of the side and fully deserves to be captain. Another ex University of Northumbria player, Christian spent most of last season in Reserves after starting off in the 4th team but his attitude and effort in pre-season training earned him a chance in the 1st team at the start of the season, which he has grabbed with both hands.

DAVID MERCER (CB/CM) Debut 2000
David is another highly committed player who has a fantastic attitude to training. David performed well for the Reserves last season to earn a place in 1st team at start of the season, unfortunately just as he was beginning to establish himself he suffered an ankle injury which has pretty much ruined his season since.

CRAIG ROWSON (LM/LB) Debut 1998
Craig is one of many who have worked his ways from the depths of the C team to become a 1st team regular. Craig's work rate has been phenomenal all season and he has made the left side of midfield position his own. Now in his 4th season with the club, Craig is the sole reason for the existence of the 1st team in the Tyneside Amateur League this season as he was the only player in the squad prepared to take on the arduous role of secretary, a role he has performed with great efficiency.

GARETH HOPKINS (CF/RM/RB) Debut 1997
One of the most committed players in club history Gaz has only missed one game in his 5 years with the club! A highly versatile player Gaz is capable of doing a job in virtually every position on the pitch. This is Gaz's third season in 1st season after a season each in the Reserves and the C team.

TIM BURKE-MURPHY (CM) Debut 2000
A hard running midfield dynamo, Tim has won a regular place in the squad this season after learning the ropes under Polly in the Reserve team last year as a wide eyed fresher. Tim is just returning to full fitness and form after a long spell out with a hamstring injury. Tim is another player prepared to work for the club off the pitch and has taken over many of the Club Captain responsibilities this season.

BEN HOLMES (CM) Debut 1997
Ben has been with club ever since arriving in Newcastle 5 years ago and has gradually worked his way up to the 1st team after 2 ½ seasons in the lower teams. A composed and reliable central midfielder, Ben has produced the best football of his Garnett career this season.

DAVID ALEXANDER (CF/CM) Debut 2001
Promising Irish newcomer with great ball skills and desire, David has moved quickly through the ranks to win a place in 1st team squad. Only 18 years old and still learning how to play the game, David has already chipped in with a few vital goals from his preferred attacking midfield role.

"HOWIE" SORENSEN (CM) Debut 2000
Another Norwegian, Howie has made a big difference since coming into the team after the first month of the season. A strong physical player with skills and vision to match, Howie is ideally suited to the central midfield holding role. Howie joined the club midway through last season after a spell out of the game and got himself back into the flow in the Reserve team.

MARK ROGERS (RM/RB) Debut 2001
Another promising youngster who has impressed in this, his debut season. Mark has played for the 1st team at left back and midfield when injuries have created openings and let no one down, he will be looking to use this year's experiences to establish himself as a regular in the 1st team next season.

ANDY LOGAN (CM/CF) Debut 1999
Logan has recently rejoined the club after originally deciding not to play Saturday football this season. He has rapidly regained a place in the 1st team with impressive performances in the Reserves and at training. A skillful and intelligent midfield player, Logan is equally adept wide right or in the centre of the park.

ANDY REE (CF/RM) Debut 2000
Super skilled left sided attacking player, Andy is one of the most talented players in the club's history. Andy played youth international football for his native Norway, in so becoming the 3rd international in the club's history, following his compatriot Daniel Flugstaad and Singapore B international Beng Cheung. Andy joined the Green and Black after spells with Blyth Spartans in the Unibond League and Blue Star in the Northern League.

KYM VAMRAK (CF) Debut 2000
A highly skilled and experienced striker, Kym has been in prolific goal scoring form when fit. An incredible 34 goals in his first 15 league games has put Kym has put him on pace to break the club record for league goals per game. Yet another ex Northumbria University Norwegian, Kym joined the club late last season and played left midfield for the Reserves before quickly establishing himself as the club's premier striker this season.
