1st Team Squad
Adam Bartlett
Nickname: Bottle Top, Tops
Age: 21
Position: Left Back
Tops has been with the club 3 seasons now and is pushing hard for a first team place after some starts last season. Phenomenal in the air considering his small stature, Tops also has a nice left foot and is pretty quick. Has been nursing a dodgy ankle so far this season but when fit is one of the first names on the team sheet. Got his name after swallowing the top of a lucozade bottle in a pre match warm up 2 seasons ago!!

Position: Left Back
Shaun Chapman
Nickname: Chappers, Flappers, Toilet Duck
Age: 27
Position: Goalkeeper
One of the clubs longest serving players approaching near 10 years, having spent his youth days playing at Hassocks. An agile shot stopper and is one of the veterans of the 1st team this year at 25! Loves the club as much as he does Stella and will always talk to you about ‘that save’ away to Old V’s and how he is the best ‘keeper to don the gloves at LFC!
Age: 27
Position: Goalkeeper
Joe Chilmaid
Nickname: Chillers, Chills, Azad, Monkmaid
Age: 24
Position: Centre Back
Joe is another success story of LFC, starting in the 5ths a couple of seasons back, Chillerz quickly carved out a reputation as a no nonsense centre half and stepped up from the 3rds to the seconds last season. He was an integral part of the side that won promotion to div 2. Whilst many legitimately refer to him as rather basic, no one ever questions his commitment on the pitch and he is notoriously strong in the tackle. Joe is always involved in team banter and also loves the social side, having survived 3 tours and a multitude of messy socials down the club!Age: 24
Position: Centre Back
Jimmy Elkins
Nickname: Elks, Mini Elks
Age: 23
Position: Striker
Unfortunately Jimmy has been out injured so far this season; which will please opposition defences as his blistering pace, movement and dribbling have given many a centre half a torrid time. Elks has been accused of lacking composure in front of goal but answered his critics by being the club’s top scorer last season!! He is possibly the quickest player at LFC and having been with the Swans for 6 years, Jimmy finally made it on tour in 2008 where he was part of the inaugural father/son tour combination!
Age: 23
Position: Striker
Matthew McDonald
Nickname: Macca, Scooby Doo, Monkgel
Age: 24
Position: Centre Back
A tall steady centre half who isn’t blessed with pace but his size means he is dominant forec in the air, committed to the tackle. Macca joined LFC 5 years ago having finished his youth playing days at Burgess Hill, and has never looked back since. Being a large part of the social scene, completing 3 annual tours.
