No. 1 - Paul "Dicko" Dickson

Age... Old VERY old
Position..Bent over double
Special skills.. Picking the ball out of the net often
Background.. Born within a spitting distance of the hot bed of soccer known as Anfield, he was always destined to be a famous player, blessed with sublime skills. However destiny took its own hand in things and decreed that he was turned away from the shankly gates with his tail between his legs and the words "for gods sake take up squash" echoing in his shell like. He spent the next twenty years of his life nomadically going from sunday league team to sunday league team, in desperate search of a squad that would appreciate what he had to offer and finally found his true level in the nets at WNSS, where even there he cannot get a regular game due to his past love child commitments from his mis-spent youth. Does still turn in the odd spectacular shot stopper which merits his brief appearances and dreams of what might have been when crosses are sailing over his head just like David James Roy Carroll et al.
