JONES'S PLAYER PROFILES
Richard Jones
– Manager – Re-joined the club from Eccleshall (Twice SCSL champion 2001-03) and
took over as manager following several injury plagued seasons. Was part of The
Vine’s (Stone) Staffs Sunday Cup winner’s side in 1999 but was lucky to play in
the Cup Final following a rash, dirty, ugly tackle by an un-named player during
the previous week’s semi-final. Remember that Bucko?
Back to the top
Craig Atkinson
– Assistant Manager – ‘Acko’ is a very astute, talented football coach who is
working well below his level - compliment. A member of the Ant Hill mob (wacky
races) fan club, who would do anything for 3 points. It’s about time someone
took him up on his offer to chin him! Show some ******** lads!
Back to the top
Paul Darlington
– ‘Darlo’ is still learning his trade. An excellent shot stopper but needs to be
more confident and show people how good he actually is and not be bothered about
what they think. Another current ‘Oulton Triangle’ training run record holder!
Back to the top
Tim Buckley
– Experienced, ex-pro at Port Vale. ‘Bucko’ joined the club after transferring
from Eccleshall. Twice captain of Eccleshall’s back to back SCSL Premier
Championship and Staffs Vase winners team from 2001-03 having previously been
part of Stafford Town’s West Midlands League championship team. Remember that
tackle?
Back to the top
Dan Rainford
– Hardcore, greying SOA defender of over 250 appearances who already has an eye
on his testimonial. Twice joined Eccleshall but soon returned to the Alleynes.
Was part of The Vine’s (Stone) Staffs Sunday Cup winners side in 1999. Club
captain who likes his annual Xmas parties.
Back to the top
Lee
Bailey –
Member of Eccleshall’s first SCSL Championship team in 2002 but didn’t stick
around to get the second medal. In fact, he probably didn’t get the first medal
after going AWOL when the going got tough! Well known for his Friday night binge
sessions. Recently joined the club (he had no choice really, after Brian’s
persistency) from Brocton. We’re very pleased to have got him at last.
Back to the top
Gareth Hardwick –
Recently joined
the club from Brocton and quickly established himself as the fastest player.
Mind you, he was paired with Malc!
Back to the top
Chris Johnson –
Proper
clubman who is unfortunately away at University for large parts of the season.
Still not discarded as many pairs of boots as his Dad did or coined as many
legendary phrases whilst under pressure at the back such as, “Oh Rich, just
**** it off”.
Back to the top
Chris Hall –
Young
defender recently joined the club from Brocton. We are pleased to have acquired
his services as other clubs were interested. Just needs to be more vocal and
command the team more from the back.
Back to the top
Kenny Barton –
A member
of the only family in Yarnfield, not to have acquired an ASBO. That takes some
doing! Dubbed ‘The Coach’, Kenny recently joined the club from UEFAB FC.
Back to the top
Wayne Chadwick –
‘Chad’ recently
rejoined the club after acquiring a SCSL medal with Barlaston last season.
Apparently he scored against us??? Anyone remember??? Wayne recently obtained a
4ft wide bronze gong on the Wales trip. Why? Wayne hails from Newstead.
Back to the top
Sam Fox
– Unfortunately not THE Sam Fox, but this Sam will do for us, although he is not
adverse to making the odd boob or two! Versatile defender who is very
consistent. We would love Sam to one day say “Right, I’m going to be the best
player on this park” so we could see him at his best because there is so much
more to get out of him. Well known for not paying his subs at training.
Back to the top
Malcolm Gardner –
Without doubt, the
slowest player to have ever laced a pair of football boots, Malc seems to have
re-invented himself in Sunday football as a centre forward.
Back to the top
Kev Bailey –
Another
recent Brocton recruit, Kev is already demonstrating the dedication and
commitment that’s required to become clubman of the season. (Watch out Dale!)
Back to the top
Dean Buckley –
Unbelievably, Dean prefers to work on a Saturday than play football! We just
wish he could play more often.
Back to the top
Dale Kinnersley
– ‘Model pro’ Dale recently joined from Eccleshall. Twice a key player in
Eccleshall’s back to back SCSL Premier Championship and Staffs Vase winners team
from 2001-03. Dale played over 500 games for ‘Eccy’. Speed is a word not
normally associated with the Kinnersley family, but not wanting to get outdone
by his Dad, Dale is looking much sharper these days.
Back to the top
Paul Hollins -
Twice a key player in Eccleshall’s back to back SCSL
Premier Championship and Staffs Vase winners team from 2001-03. Re-joined the
club over the summer after ten years in exile. Paul faces a constant battle with
his weight, topping the scales at a whopping 16 stone this summer. When told
that WAGS were invited to the end of season do, he replied that he couldn’t
bring both!
Back to the top
Mark Fox – Established midfielder who includes Foley as his ex-club. Claim to
fame was scoring for Foley versus ‘Eccy’ before going on to get hammered 6-1.
Box-to-box player (6 yard to 18 yard box that is) who wins his fair share of
battles. Needs to ‘chip in’ with more goals. Mark is responsible for the club
tracksuits……
Back to the top
Andy Hulme
– Hard working midfielder who wins the majority of his battles but now needs to
net more goals. The only non-Alleynian in the club. Currently penning a novel
about how to get from Stone to Hanley after a skinfull.
Back to the top
Club announcement – Football club desperately seeks translator for foreign import. ‘eeh
bah gum’, flat caps, tin baths full of coal, yes this is the player profile of
one Dave Beachill, Barnsley born and bred.
Back to the top
Tim Hough
– Pacey winger Tim is in his 6th season at Alleynes. Top scorer last
season looking to find his scoring boots once more this season. Current record
holder for the ‘Oulton Triangle’ training run of 7 min 55 seconds.
Back to the top
Alex Bird
– New left winger (position, not political beliefs) who joined club this season.
Was part of The Vine (Stone) Staffs Sunday Cup winners side in 1999.
Back to the top
Andy Lipscomb
– ‘Lippo’ can be as good as he wants to be, a match winner even. Just needs more
confidence and start to become more dominant. A Man.Utd season ticket holder who
lets us know every Saturday when we get called off
Back to the top
Adam Johns –
How unfit? This
excellent young player seems to like punishing himself to extreme levels. Adam
nearly got left behind last season, at Featherstone Prison FC of all places,
after being spotted at the last second throwing up in the corner of the cage
that we’d played in, just before it was locked!
Back to the top
Michael Perry
– ‘Pez’ recently rejoined the club following a bout of arthritis and leading the
line at Eccleshall (SCSL and Staffs Vase winner 2003) and
Newcastle Town. Always first
to training and known for his ability to suggest and set-up training run’s but
somehow forget to turn up for them??? Top class forward locally, excellent in
the air, with a lifetime membership of the mile high club!.
Back to the top
Jamie Riley
– Joined the club for the 2006/2007 season. Could be outstanding if he took his
football seriously. Well known for his inability to head the ball and his unique
match day attire – combats and hob-nail boots.
Back to the top
John Moore-Tabb
– A proper goal poacher, vital to our team. Currently AWOL, if anyone sees him,
tell him to get in touch……
Back to the top
Tom Horton
– Tom is possibly the best young forward in town but has no idea about it
whatsoever. Huge potential.
Back to the top
Dan Kocyigit
– Dan will definitely improve with age and time, he already has twelve goals for
Stone Old Alleynains. Three for the first team and nine for the second team
scored in the short time that he has been with us. A proven striker who knows
where the goal is! Young Dan is a player who could play a big part in the clubs
future.
Back to the top
Cliff Barton
–
The other
member of the only family in Yarnfield not to have acquired an ASBO! Cliff is
another young player with huge potential, he recently joined the club from UEFAB
FC
