chipping sodbury 'a' team squad 2004/05

James Crew - Goalkeeper
Aged 18
The Comedian of the team. Renowned for his appearances on and off the pitch. Had a steady 1st season in senior football and has a good future ahead of him.
​ The only 3rd team player to pick up a yellow card this season.
Dan Gear - Defender
Aged 18
​A great player to have around, put in some good performances this season, never moans and is always there to lend a helping hand when needed. He Said "He earned us the point against SBC" Following his 'Man of the Match' against Coalpit Heath.
Bradley Hackett - Defender
Aged 18
Its a long time since a 'Hackett' played at Sodbury. Excellent Left-back and deserves to play alot higher. Has the 2nd best left foot in the team behind the 'Old man' Bisp. Mr. Reliable week in week out. Has played for ALL three sides this season.
Jim Bisp - Defender
Aged 18
This season is the first time he has played with a smile on his face. Steady Right-back who has wade in with a couple of goals this season, the pic of the bunch being Coalpit Heath Away. Will be missed next season when away at University.
Pete John - Defender
Age - Unknown
Good strong Central defender who needs to stop going 'Walk about' when playing. Plays with his heart and leads by example. A really good steady season, respected by the younger players until he sets them 'Homework'. From Pembrokeshire and is our Welsh International.
Luke England - Defender
​Aged 18
What more could you ask for in a Defender, strong, quick, tall, very good in going forward and has played really well this season and will also be missed next season due to University. Worcester is only 50 minutes away. So be at the Club for 1.30 pm.
Julian Merzeau - Utility
Aged 26
Our French International Superstar. Has played for ALL three teams this season and played in many positions. Very quiet but not on the pitch, has a fiery French temper. It will be good to see him around next season.
Steve Martin - Midfield
Aged 24
If not seen running down the wing. he's seen puffing on a fag. Commitment and attitude has been great this season and has fitted in well with the younger players and leads them astray at Club Disco's. Has scored some important goals this season. Has also played for Rangeworthy.
Shaun Leonard - Midfield
Age 21
Used to be on Bristol City's books as a Goalkeeper. Joined us from Winterbourne. Quality midfield player who scored some great goals this season. He's got to remember we play for 90 minutes. Yet to complete a full game.
Ben Hole - Midfield
Aged 18
​The Bionic man, his grease nipples on his metal knees keep them lubricated and running. His energetic performances and some important goals have contributed to a superb season all round. Also played for the Reserves.
Rich Bisp - Midfield
​Age - 46
Assistant Manager, he's the calming influence. Still the 'Best' Left-foot around. Waded in with 14 goals this season after joining from Winterbourne. 'Young ones take note' Great attitude and fitness levels, still a few campaigns left in the old legs.
Rob Sarkozi - Midfield
Age 18
Tricky Winger with a good eye for goal. He has had a good season and we are sure there is more to come from him. For his size he works hard every game against opponents normally twice his size.
Martin Panetta - Midfield
Age 23
The 'Italian Stallion'. Quality player if fit, would not be playing for the third team. Passing and Skills are second to none but fitness levels bad. Still the best to come from him but not at Rangeworthy. Gets on well with the younger players.
Jack Kelly - Midfield
Age 18
What can be said, Quick feet, Good goals, Injuries, more goals, more Injuries, dodgy shoulder and a great lad to have in your squad. Good attitude and a real character. Scored two goals from the half-way line this season which turned into vital points. Always losing his wallet & phone.
Jason Cattle - Midfield
Age 18
'Headless' has been a good squad member this season with 16 appearances from The Bench and producing a 'Man of the Match' award in the process. All teams need these sort of players to be a successful side. Has contributed two goals and attended every training session.
Luke Durham - Striker
Age 17
Finished the season top goal-scorer in the club with 21 goals. Not bad for his 1st season as an outfield player. His Dad commented 'He wouldn't score as many goals as fingers on his hand'. Still learning the game but his pace and work rate is a threat to any defence at any level.

With Eden Grove already declared Champions and S.B.C in 3rd place, a win would give us the runners-up position, a defeat would mean 3rd place and a draw would mean we had to beat Eden Grove in the last game of the season.
After 84mins we go behind from a Chris Gear own goal but just when we thought it was over, up popped Luke Durham, to score his 21st goal of the season and gain a 1 - 1 draw.

3rd Team League Debut Paul Harris.
The last game of the season, on the Main pitch with the biggest support of the season and the visitors were Champions Eden Grove, unbeaten all season.
Rich Bisp with 2 goals and The Sods were in control after 30 mins but Eden Grove were not finished and scored before half time. The 2nd half was a very even contest until Paul Harris popped up to head our 3rd goal. Eden Grove were still not dead and scored again, so it was very tense until the final whistle.
Celebrating being league runners-up in their 1st season, the boys Partied until 2.00am.
