Andy Forsyth Andy Forsyth tall rangy goalkeeper in the David James mould, Foz has played for most of the local non league teams but a dodgy back has cut down his appearances. He says his back was worst at Poulton, they were called Armer and Shorrocks! His missus said,'I dont know why you've signed him back, he can't hold a pair of tits!
Kev Roskell Kev Roskell Has been one of best keepers on the coast for many years now and has stepped in this season and been excellent for us, particularly in the Lancashire Cup semi final. Arguably the best ever “talker” and organises his defence throughout the whole game to great effect.
Robbie Boal Robbie Boal holds the all time record of Gledhill appearances having played in ten finals. Will give 100% week in, week out and is a shining example to all for his effort, loyalty and commitment. He also reckons he could buy a new car with the money he’s shelled out to the LFA in bookings.
Stuart Bracewell Stuart Bracewell Bracey is now fast approaching legendary status as having played in that many Gledhill finals - 9 altogether. He has been with the club since he was 17 and has provided us with plenty of fun over the years as he heads to Quills “hall of fame”, or should it be shame!
Lee Broadbent Lee Broadbent “Broady” is well known around the town with his designer clothes and designer cars, but on the pitch for Quills he always gives 100% and is classed as Quills main man. Big aggressive centre forward with great feet and good combinations when needed too. Currently on an extended holiday, all the lads are thinking about him and looking forward to his return.
Scott Sugden Scott Sugden “Suggy” is renowned as the most skilful striker in the league and would be a regular on Soccer AM’s “showboating” with his tricks. Leading scorer in 2006 and when he’s on fire he is untouchable and likely to score from anywhere. He reckond his “hammy” has had more pulls than the bitter pump in the Saddle.
Steve Palmer Steve Palmer tough tackling midfielder who returned to the club after realising the grass is not any greener on the other side, and we're delighted he is back. Plays for FA Vase winners AFC Fylde on Saturday's and always gives 100% and tackles anything that moves.
Phil Thompson Phil Thompson "Tommo" is one of the best defenders ever to play in the Sunday Alliance. He played 55 times for Blackpool including the 2001 play off win in Cardiff. He is superb in the air and composed on the deck. Won the FA Vase at Wembley last season playing for Kirkham FC.
Peter Taberner Peter Taberner "Tabs" has just finished a two year stint in the USA playing college football and his renowned as one of the top defenders in the Fylde. Tall, athletic and deceptively quick, he has all the attributes of a top defender.
Sean Lawler Sean Lawler currently enjoying a scholarship in the USA. Sean is a dedicated player who is comfortable in defence or midfield and starred for Garstang in their West Lancs. Championship season.
Sam Gorrie Sam Gorrie has now developed in to one of the top defenders on the Fylde after the Gaffer signed him as a 16 year old rookie. A tremendous athlete and a credit to his parents who are big Quills fans. Sam has now gained a place at Leeds Metro University, but will be home some weekends.
Paul Cook Paul Cook skilful central midfielder, Cookie has established himself as one of the top midfielders around and attracted the attention of a lot of semi-pro clubs. Enjoys the social side of football and renowned for spending long sessions in the gym, mind you the sunbeds are good at his gym!
Dan Sutton Dan Sutton midfielder who combines tackling, heading and passing to a perfect balance. Signed on the eve of the season after he appeared bound for the Dunes, and a good addition to the Quills midfield.
Danny Rowe Danny Rowe Quills swooped to land the coveted striker from Poulton at the start of last season and he has been outstanding ever since. A former Man. Utd junior, Danny’s strength and powerful shot with either foot make him a player feared by everyone in the League.
Jordan Spedding Jordan Spedding the youngest son of the Gaffer, a tall and tricky striker in the Rory Fallon mode. He has tons of natural ability and is a threat in the air and on the deck. Loves to score goals and has the celebrations to match.
Geoff Wilson Geoff Wilson can play centre half or centre forward, loves the physical side of the game and is a great dressing room influence on his team mates.
Jordan Douthwaite Jordan Douthwaite the baby of the squad. Jordan was signed after some impressive displays for YMCA in the Youth League where they won the league and cup double. Expect him to make a big impression in the next few years as he comes to terms with senior football, his crossing, shooting and ability to go past players is great to watch.
Kevan Ford Kevan Ford outstanding central defender who helped the BFSFA representative team win the Carberry Cup and made a great impression on the Germany tour, especially his Kavannnnnn down routine! Previously did a four year scholarship in the USA similar to the one being done by Sean Lawler now, and plays on Saturdays for Squires Gate.
Liam Frend Liam Fend Frendy has been a "big" Quilligans fan for some time now and was delighted to sign for the team. He has good skill for a big man and says he loves Slimfast, he reckons it's great with chips!
Martin Baird Martin Baird Teenager who burst in to the team this season as an attacking midfielder. Physical player with good aerial ability who can develop into a good player, possibly as a defender where he plays for college.
Mark Smith Mark Smith Excellent keeper signed from Red Rose, Mark turned down several offers to join Quills as back up to Andy Speight. Plays for Thornton Cleveleys on Saturdays.
Tom Porter Tom Porter Long time target of the Gaffer, Tom finally saw sense and joined Quills from close rivals Poulton. Athletic defender who prides himself on his fitness, and is very passionate about the game.
Chris Morris Chris Morris Mozzer is one of the best young players in the Town and played for the successful League Representative team last season. Left sided player who can play in a number of positions, expect him to have a big influence in the side this season.
Sean Slater Sean Slater He may be small in body, but is big in heart. Sean was delighted to get the call to join Quills and left a number of teams disappointed about that. A creative midfielder in the Mickey Mellon mould, he is able to dictate a game and create numerous chances for others with his slick passing and positional awareness.
Nick Greenall Nick Greenall Signed from Fairhaven FC and winner of Wren Rovers “Player of the Year” title, Nick is an excellent prospect at left back or left side midfield. Son of former Blackpool defender Colin Greenall, Nick has inherited his father’s football ability and has a fine range of passes and thunderous shot.
Mickey Evans Mickey Evans Dangerous striker with a great nose for goal, Mickey was signed from Wrea Green where he was their leading goalscorer. The pacy striker is still only 22 and is a former BFSFA Golden Boot winner as leading overall striker in the Alliance
Will Watt Will Watt talented winger who can cross with either foot, came back well from a broken leg and signed from Northern Care. Also is a sports reporter for the Evening Gazette.
Andy Speight Andy Speight got the chance to claim the starting spot once regular keeper Tony Clowes had to retire last October and grabbed it with both hands. Originally joined Quills as a 17 year old, he has now matured in to an excellent keeper, and plays for Squires Gate on Saturdays.
