Lindfield FC

Peter Ashdown

Nickname: Ash
Age: 29
Position: Right Back

In his 5th season with the Swans, Ash is a solid right back and LFC’s Mr Consistent on pitch. He always gives 100% and is a good athlete, strong in the air and the tackle. Ash was the 2nd team’s player’s player of year in the 08/09 promotion winning season. Much more involved in the social side of late, Ash spends most of his time off the pitch trying to persuade people he is not on tour this year!!

Sam Baker

Nickname: TBC
Age: 20
Position: Centre Mid

In his first season with the club Sam is already establishing himself as a tenacious midfielder. Competitive in the tackle and with a good range of passing Sam has started his first season well and is now established in the reserves after an impressive pre season. The only sore point is that Sambo’s LFC reputation has been tarnished by rumours he may leave next season to become a tax dodging student!!!

Harry Bannister

Nickname: Campo
Age: 19
Position: Right Mid

The first of the new breed of cygnets to break into the reserve team squad, Campo joined us this season after finishing his youth football with Cuckfield and Hassocks. Despite possessing the same offensive hair, Campo plays nothing like the ex Bolton legend Ivan - He can play anywhere across the middle but is best on the wing, has great feet, a turn of pace and knows where the net is. At 16 he is one of the brightest new prospects at LFC.

Brandon Fugl

Nickname: Branno
Age: 19
Position: Right Mid

Branno is in his 2nd season with LFC and makes the jump from the reserves after some impressive performances last year. A young energetic winger who has more than a few tricks up his sleeve and plays with confidence above his years.

Barry Irvine

Nickname: Bazza
Age: 23
Position: Right Mid

A versatile player capable of performing anywhere in the front 6, Bazzers best position is out wide where his direct style and pace can really trouble full backs. Baz chips in with his fair share of goals as well and after 3 seasons with LFC is an established member of the reserve team squad, helping us reach div 2 last year. Off the pitch Baz can now be found out with the lads most Saturdays and despite his inability to grasp any drinking games, he is proving a dark horse in this year’s poker league!!

David Keane

Nickname: Keano
Age: 20
Position: Striker

A striker with pace, Keano is terrorising defences in Division 6 this season, and Division 2 when called upon. Keano has an eye for goal, sometimes to his team mates frustration. Teams dont want to give Dave too many chances as usually a few will hit the net.

Has played on the wing but Keano is best down the middle playing on the shoulder of the last man. Scored 2 goals on numerous occassions this season but yet to hit a hat trick.... defences be aware!

Kieran Lee

Nickname: Kizza
Age: 19
Position: Left Mid

A quick left winger in his second season with the club, Kizza is the most experienced of the 3 reserve team cygnets. He broke into the 3rds in his first season and this year has kicked on into the reserves. He is pacey, a good crossed off either foot and works tremendously hard for the team. Kizza is working hard this season and catching the eye with his neat passing and tricky wing-play.

Karim 'Dave' Shaldoum

Nickname: Karim
Age: 22
Position: Centre Back

Even taller than his brother, Dave is a new signing this season and could be deputising for his injured older brother once back from travelling after impressing in pre season. Dominates in the air and distributes simply from the back, luckily Dave is not prone to piling forward in open play like his brother!

Mustapha 'Steve' Shaldoum

Nickname: Shalders, Fellaini
Age: 24
Position: Centre Back

Joined the club last season and broke into the reserves straight away, he formed a good centre half partnership with Chilmaid. Despite being a hulking 6 foot 7, Shalders is a surprising cultured footballer with a sure touch and reliable passing. Dominate in the air as you would expect, he also possesses 8 feet go-go gadget legs which are handy in the tackle. Has cut his hair this season after previous jibes about his previous “fro” making him look rather like Everton’s giant midfielder Fellani! Incredibly, it is also not uncommon to see Shalders carrying the ball forward on a mazy run (this is usually accompanied by Mugs b********g him)!!
