HENBURY F.C.

Jensen Mannings (Midfield) - Kane and Rex’s brother. Turned up for preseason training 3 years
ago and despite sporting a ‘mun’ was accepted by the lads due to the energy and enthusiasm
he displayed on the pitch. Has caught more carp than he has scored goals recently.
Jack Mills (anywhere) – Another Colts product, Tangy by design, he has spent the last few years
playing in the Toolstation Western Premier Division. He gets to visit some lovely grounds there
mind. Great lad can and will play literally anywhere on the pitch. A few pounds to shift before
he’s bossing the County League again.
Adam Rosser (Midfield) – ‘Chunk’ is the longest serving 1 team player and again a one club
st
man. Has been a consistent performer in midfield for over 15 years. Capable of scoring worldy’s
and is great on either foot. The only reason he is being complimented is to avoid his constant
moaning.
Brandon Dack (Midfield) - “Bean” could be known as the Hulk as he turns green when that
whistle blows, he’s stepped up to County League level with ease and could go much higher,
works his magic all over the pitch and is very combative and hard to knock off the ball, does his
talking on the pitch, not known for his drinking ability!
Danny Seymour (Midfield) - “Seymz” a true soldier, rolls his sleeves up and gets down to
business no matter what and has the ability to match it, loves a tackle and can pick a pass, as
long as he’s looking the right way! Another young player that’s fitted in well, not just on the pitch
but in the bar as well! Great attitude, a managers’ dream.
Sam Degg - (Midfield) - Strong, physical and powerful player that can play anywhere on the
pitch, best in an advanced position pushing forward but a fantastic attitude and never phased by
any opponent. Can score goals if in the right position. Is off to University but will be with us as
much as possible
John Watkins (Midfield) – Had more academies and trials at pro clubs than Lionel Messi. Pulls
the strings in the middle of the park, will receive the ball anywhere and make things happen. Mr
laid back on & off the pitch, never phased and will do anything to help his teammates. Even at
his old age his passion for the game is never in doubt. Injured since arriving at the club this
summer he will show his true worth once fully fit.
Harvey Moran (Forward) – Harvey is a pain in the ass in every way possible. As fit as a
butcher’s dog he picks up important goals and is a real nuisance to the opposition. Should train
his bowels not to need emptying at the same time as the pre match team talk.
Shaquille Hunter (Forward) – ‘Shaqs’ is a quality footballer with an excellent pedigree. Could
easily play at a higher level but enjoys a more relaxed approach to his football these days. Could
play in his sleep, sometimes looks asleep when he’s playing.
Josh Day (Forward) – So laid back he’s horizontal, he knows how to strike a ball, once hit, it
stays hit! Gradually earning the nickname “sicknote” as he’s been injured since joined Henbury
and so has only featured fleetingly. Once fit he will terrorise defenders, he’s a true No 9.
Kane Mannings (Forward) – Gamekeeper turned Poacher. Another retired goalkeeper who got
bored in between the sticks, now giving opposition keepers nightmares. A hard working, strong
centre forward with great technique, who bags goals for fun.
Will Baldwin (Forward) - Harry Potter would be proud of that wand of a left foot. Moves like a
slalom skier with the ball at his feet leaving defenders all over the place, has settled well into this
level and will be a threat all season to opposition defenders. Not the most vocal as he lets his
twinkle toes do the talking. Rarely seen with a pint in his hand but I’m sure that will change over
the course of the season.
Shaun Baldwin (Lino) - Club linesman and an absolute pleasure for the Management Team to
have someone like Shaun onboard. The most honest and polite linesman in the league, will
surely be up for an award for that. Even when “questioned” by opponents he gently replies with
a smile on his face. Top bloke!
