Will Smith
Goalkeeper
Who else could someone with that name play for other than the men
in black. For a player who is pretty relaxed during warm up, he
seems to get very wound up and agitated – especially when playing
Cheadle! Capable if slightly eccentric keeper who was the saviour
of the club for the 08/09 season.
Dave "Rio" Musrie
Goalkeeper
Cheadle Hulme's long standing and outstanding Keeper returned from
Germany for the 09/10 season. Cheadle Hulme are certainly blessed
to have two slightly eccentric keepers.
Gareth “Taffy” Jones
Defender
Had to flee the Welsh valleys amid allegations of rustling and other
sheep related charges. Despite being 50 and chain smoking roll ups
is still the quickest and fittest defender at the club! Player of
the year last season after some storming performances.
Steve Bateman
Defender
Ex local chef Steve has demonstrated he is better 'chopping' attackers
than cooking chops. Now turned his hand to debt collecting on and
off the pitch. A top class defender who is also adept at bringing
the ball out of defence. Likely to be the backbone of Cheadle Hulme's
defence for many year to come.
Pat Moore
Defender
Defenders are usually aggressive and psychotic types. Typically
Cheadle Hulme has the most laid back easy going defender. On the
rare occasions Pat has really chopped an opponent, he has always
said sorry! Now banned from the defenders union.
Steve “Silent Assassin” Pollock
Defender
Solid defender who's speciality is making enthusiastic attackers
lose interest very quickly. Over the years has perfected several
techniques for this including the hip hack, Pollock's bollock check
(TradeMark) and the good old fashioned scythe. All done with varying
degrees of subtlety – and all you will ever hear is the screams!
Mike White
Defender / Long stick Midi
During the week Mike is a nice guy charity volunteer but on a Saturday
he is a ground ball beast hoovering up all the loose balls and hacking
at all those who get in his way. Must be the best long stick midi
in the division by some way.
Chris “Peaky” Peacock
Midfield
Expert face off man. The only thing Chris does more often than winning
face offs is berating referees which he does loudly and persistently.
A hard working and important member of the side.
Kevin "Iron Man" Ruddock
Midfield
Hard man midfielder who runs himself into the ground for the team
on a weekly basis. Tends to travel to away games on his own as no-one
else will get in a car with him.
Timothy “Slick” Sayers
Midfielder
Slick is prone to temper tantrums often brought on by his helmet
ruffling his hairstyle which can get Timmy quite upset. Has quite
an eye for a goal......but never sees a pass! A high scoring midfielder
who is dangerous when cutting.
Chris Wilson
Midfielder
Upon graduating, trainee solicitor Chris was looking to join a team
with like-minded well educated intelligent people. However he couldn't
find one and joined the rabble that is Cheadle Hulme LC.
Marcus Bartram
Midfielder
A fast midfielder with a deceptively strong shot. Still a man of
mystery since joining from Cheadle, Marcus prefers to go home rather
than have a pint after the match, so surprised he didn't join Timperley
instead!
Adam Cochrane
Midfield
Another to make the short trip from Cheadle. A strong and enthusiastic
midfielder who showed bravery beyond doubt by playing throughout
all the pre season with no arm pads. Not surprisingly has now invested
in some protection!
Dave Howie
Midfielder
A talented and ever improving midfielder who is intelligent enough
to be studying Engineering at Oxford University, but still can't
understand Cheadle Hulme's tactics!
Neil Peacock
Midfielder
Neil moved back to the club from Wacs in the summer in order to
play on the same team as his brother Chris. Which is strange as
the rest of the team want to transfer to Wacs so they don't have
to play on the same team as Chris Peacock! A skillful player who
brings intelligence and know-how to the midfield.
Matt Jones
Midfielder
Natural, silky stick handling midfield player who often showed Lazarus
style powers of recovery from his Friday night exploits to play
on a Saturday, mostly using his stick to keep himself upright! Now
using the weak excuse of living in Australia to miss most matches.
Steve 'Fishy' Fish
Midfield/Attack
Smuggled into the UK under the alias 'Steve Fish' to infiltrate
Cheadle Hulme Lacrosse Club and send back lacrosse intelligence
to eastern Europe. Has spent six months monitoring Peacock and Sayers
and still has nothing to report. A bizarrely strung stick has held
Steve back from showing his true ability and is a great ambassador
for the sport both here and in Slovenia.
Colin Windeler
Anywhere but Midfield
After playing for England, winning countless Senior flags and Premiership
medals Colin knew there was only one place to go to get a real challenge
in lacrosse.......Cheadle Hulme!
Gary “Tomo” Thompson
Attack
Quiet, timid attackman. You wouldn't notice him if it wasn't for
his prolific goalscoring exploits over the years. Possesses a powerful
shot and is able to hold off defenders with his strength. Has the
important role of leading the singing on the Christmas do.
Jamie Tomlinson
Attack
A great prospect for the club who's pace and movement bring a new
dimension to Hulme's attack. Displays vision and maturity beyond
his years but needs to fill out quite a bit to fill Gary Thompson's
boots!
James Bicknell
Attack
Fine left handed feeder who makes things tick, when James plays
well, Cheadle Hulme play well. An unselfish team player more interested
in setting up others to score, which is just as well with his shooting.
Duncan Woodward
Attack
Scientists have worked tirelessly for the last two years to rebuild
the ex Cheshire star. Now part man, part goal machine, Woodward
has returned to terminate terrified opposition defences. A combination
of good stick skills and a rare composure in front of goal mean
Duncan converts a high proportion of chances and is now the clubs
top scorer.
Capt. Ben “Rancid” Ransome
Midfield/Attack
When selecting a captain most teams go for the most organised, dynamic
and motivated person on the team – but Cheadle Hulme like to
be different and chose Ben, a leader of men apparently. Spends the
week training for marathons but on Saturdays just stands behind
goal. This however hasn't stopped him being top scorer last season
and is leading the way again this year.
Ben “Denzil” Denison
Attack
Ex-England attacker who is a master of the fake dodge. One of the
best sights in lacrosse is to see Denzil dance past several confused
defenders with his stick wizardry......only to trip over his own
feet with the goal at his mercy.
John Adshead
Coach
Coach Adshead, knows the game inside out and takes no BS.
