Name: Alex Welch Age: 24 Nickname: Penguin Squad No: 6 Alex joined Spartak Caerdydd from Southampton FC for a record breaking £25 million pound. He plays in defence and has been compared to the likes of a Tony Adams. He scores at least 1 goal a season but that 1 goal is always a contender for goal of the season. |
|
Name: Gareth Strange Age: 22 Nickname: The 1 / Bo Squad No: 1 Bo has recently recovered from a life and career threatening knee injury. A last season signing from Manchester United, he has adapted well to the fast paced game plan of the Spartak. Playing up front he is currently top scorer and will remain that way unless the Scouser picks up his game. |
|
Name: Gareth Somerford Age: 24 Nickname: Gagzee Squad No: 7 Gareth was signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers, after a bust up over the latest design in kit and his continual alliance with other clubs. A dogg’ed player in either midfield and defence, hobbies include scouting and young girls. |
| Name:
James Owen Age: 24 Nickname: Beaver Squad No: Beaver is the side’s midfield maestro with his strength being his defensive qualities as his shooting peg sometimes miss fires. Signed last season for a record fee from West Ham United (Left a sinking ship, some might say!). |
|
Name: Mike Shepherd Age: 32 Nickname: The Slider Squad No: 3 Mike is the founder member and captain of the Spartak. An old fashioned defender who would not be out of place in a forest chopping down trees as he does that to legs on the pitch. Tough and uncompromising he has recently found his scoring legs and has netted some good goals. Left Cardiff City FC after the Players versus board clash of the mid 1990’s, after losing the takeover bid founded Spartak as a protest to big club monopolisation. |
|
Name: Matthew Shepherd Age: 22 Nickname: Wet Dream Squad No: 4 ‘Wet Dream’ likes the ladies. Enough said! (He thinks he is a latter day George Best). Signed from North Harbour FC in New Zealand after having to leave quite quickly due to a heavily pregnant Maori. |
| Name:
Andy Leslie Age: 24 Nickname: Scouser Squad No: 9 Andrew is some what of a mixed bag, sometimes an excellent player who can beat anyone and sometimes more interested in going shoulder to shoulder with a defender. Will score bags of goals this season as he did the last since signing from Liverpool on a free transfer. |
| Name:
Rhys Wynne Age: 23 Nickname: Hardman Squad No: 2 Rhys, joined from Cardiff City around the same time that Mikey S was started the club. Occassionally plays out on the park, but has the hard man attitude required. Rhys idolises Vinnie Jones and has a bald head in honour. The quiet, silent one of the team. |
| Name:
John Age: 50 Nickname: The Cat Squad No: -1 Keeper Supremo, John was drafted in to keep Spartak in Sunday Division 3. He is a total headcase and is renowned for banging his head on the crossbar. Signed on loan from our sister team Carillion Rail for an undisclosed fee. |
