Mark Smith Smithy is the joker of the side who plays for Thornton FC on Saturdays. Acrobatic keeper who saves his best moves for the team nights out, where he will challenge anyone to a 'dance off".

Stuart Bracewell Quilligans FC's longest serving player, also claims to be longest in the shower. Bracey signed as a 17 year old and along with Robbie Boal boasts the best trophy collection is Sunday football, not only locally but possibly in the whole country. He reckons he was the best looking player at Quilligans when he signed on and still is to this day. Regularly dating various Miss Blackpool's, but nowadays the only thing he is likely to pull is his hamstring! |
