Eurocopa Futbol Almerimar - The Squad
May 15th, 2008 - Chris Marshall
Just back from our second ‘training’ session and third bonding session - think we may have got that the wrong way round to be honest!
I have been asked a few questions over the last week, so thought that I would take the opportunity of answering them all here at the same time as I announce the squad:
Although the form allowed for 10 members in a squad we have gone with 12 (which is allowed) on the basis of the average age of the squad, the fact that a number of the squad may need to work at some stage over the weekend, and there is always the chance of people dropping out.
In no particular order the squad is:
- Chris Marshall
- Richard Dixon
- John Hamill
- Kris Soroko
- Lee Riley
- Danny Oakes
- Kieran Gumley
John Flynwithdrawn injured replaced by Benjamin Jones- Michael Ball
- Simon Richardson
- Ray White
- Matthew Potter
- Lee McAffee
- Jim Duncan
- Terry Buxton
- Steven Brannigan
We are representing England (well Great Britain to be precise), and one thing that we were all agreed on from day one was that team would only consist of people that we knew and that we socialised with already. As we wanted to enjoy the whole experience, and hopefully go on to play 5 a side regularly we didn’t want any ‘ringers’, or ‘outsiders’.
We have sourced England coloured tops, shorts and socks for 22€, which also covers the entrance fee, and decided that as so many businesses where involved in the team we would have no sponsorship or promotional stuff. This is just a bunch of mates getting together to play football together.
