Rod ''Wired'' Aries
A left footed striker still working his way through the reserves. Not a regular, but a useful fringe player. Prefers to be out boxing rather than in the box, or playing virtual reality computer games.
With his physical resemblance to David Fairclough of the 1980s Liverpool team, it's tempting to refer to him as super sub. But I wouldn't stoop that low.

Charlie ''Octopus'' Barratt
A brilliant goalkeeper who never fails to amaze us with his Peter Schmeichel shot stopping ability. At six a-side he's almost unbeatable and loves nothing better than to grapple about on the floor.
As well as his long reach and 'never say die' attitude he has a very long accurate throw and loves to worry attackers by body checking them well outside his area. (A skill he seems to have developed from playing American Football.)
known as the 'Octopus' due to his long reach and abiltiy to pluck the ball out of the air.
In the summer he can be found playing cricket.

Billy Bell
Stringer for eleven a-side games.

Chris ''Fixer'' Broadbent
He's a cheeky chapie on and off the pitch, prone to shouting 'come on get at 'em' in his northern English accent.
He's another midfield dynamo in a squad top heavy with them. He epitomizes the character of the team with his battling performances.
Unfortunately he also has a habit of taking the ball just too far on his bustling runs, and then just when your patience is running out he scores.
For any one wanting someone trained in the art of how to organise a good stag night, he can be seen around Leith late most nights. If you want something for that special occasion he never gives up.

Craig ''Scar Tissue'' Burn
If he wasn't prone to injury he'd be a regular in Craig Brown's squad. Probably one of the teams most verstile players.
He's happy bringing the ball out of defence, tackling, running with it and good at being in the right place at the right time. Some of his shots head rapier like into the net, never seeming to rise more than a few feet off the ground.
Luckily he hasn't been missed too much this season, thanks to new blood introduced in the squad. He'll need to work hard in Hillier's squad rotation system to regain his slot.
