Rob McLelland; (Goalkeeper) (D.O.B. 09/04/1984). Rob Joined Pagham in the close season prior to 2006/07. Having to follow in the footsteps of James “Penalties ? Pah!” Leahy hasn’t fazed Rob at all, and he’s proved to be a reliable shot stopper. Just recently made the number 1 shirt his own.

James Leahy (Goalkeeper) (D.O.B. 09/03/1984). Having moved up from Pagham’s reserve side, James Leahy was virtually ever present in the Lions’ side last season, and his penalty save record was second to none last time out. This season he’s had to contend with competition from Rob. An almost flawless display against East Grinstead makes Gary Block’s goalkeeping options very interesting.

Wes Hallett (Goalkeeper) A goalkeeper who rejoined the Lions at the start of the 2006/07 season. With his experience in division 1 during his last spell at the club, he will be pushing Rob Mclelland hard for the number 1 jersey this time out

Sean Dobbs (Defender) (DOB 09/11/1982). Sean came to Nyetimber Lane in the close season of 2006/07 having played his football for lower league South Bersted. Both in pre-season and the first league games, “Dobbsie” has shown he is a determined presence at the back, and has proved the step up to Sussex County League football isn’t a problem for him.

Ashley Hunter (Defender) (DOB 16/01/1986). Another Lion returning to Nyetimber, Ashley Hunter came back to us following a spell at local rivals Sidlesham. His last season with us was marred by a broken cheekbone, but his performances when called upon by Gary Block show him to be a solid and reliable defender.

Jamie Angell (Defender) (DOB 18/10/1976) Jamie has a long and varied playing carreer, numbering the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Midhurst and Chichester City United on his CV. Joined us in the close season, and has proved to be a valuable addition to the squad.

Sean Towers (Defender) Joined Pagham from Sidlesham having previously appeared for the Lions. A consistent and robust defender, his whole-hearted attitude has added a welcome dimension at the back this season.

Billy Chatfield (Defender) (DOB 23/01/1988) Billy is a product of the Lions thriving youth team, and when called up to first team duties last season he showed maturity beyond his years. Plagued by niggling injuries, all at the club hope he’ll be able to get an extended run in the team to allow his playing prowess to shine.

Mark Livermore (Defender) (DOB 04/11/1985) “Sharky” seems to have been at Nyetimber Lane for ever. He’s one of the best defenders at the club, and although perhaps underused last season, once he recovers fully from a nasty facial injury picked up against Rustington in pre-season, He’ll no doubt be a fixture in the Lions back four.

Tim Lester (Defender/Midfield) (DOB 19/02/1984) This season isn’t the first time Tim has worn Pagham colours, and given the speed of his runs down the wings, it’s a bonus to have him back at Nyetimber Lane. Has matured into a solid defender and erstwhile wingback in his time away and is proving to be a real plus in the side this year.

Brett Forden (Defender/Midfield) (DOB 22/07/1982) Brett is another long-serving Pagham player. He has proved to be an adaptable player, with a spell up front a couple of seasons ago allowing him to show his goal-scoring prowess. However, it’s probably as a defender he’s best known, until this season that is. With the arrival of Sean Dobbs at the back, Brett has slotted into a midfield role when called upon and his ability to play even when injured shows his commitment to the cause. Can also play as a striker and has proved to be a useful foil to Rob Wimble

Kieron Urquhart (Midfield) (DOB 10/11/1987) Kieron’s 2005/06 campaign was cruelly curtailed by a serious leg injury that robbed the Lions of one of their most promising players. Another product of the youth team, Kieron has regained his place in the side to rave reviews. Almost one of the first names on the teamsheet, he is a definite boon in midfield, taking on defenders and creating openings for others.

Calum Britton (Midfield) (DOB 26/05/1983) One of the Lions’ longest serving players, and one who can claim to have football in his blood from the start. Being related to Ian Britton of Chelsea fame, he has always looked the part. Calum has been a mainstay on the Lions’ wing for a long while, turning in consistent displays whenever he played. His turn of speed, and his eye for goal made him a permanent fixture in the Pagham side for quite a time.

Doug Peach (Midfield) (DOB 22/04/1985) Yet another long serving “Lion”, Doug has continued the tradition of having a member of the Peach family playing in Pagham colours. Doug is a player who simply gets on with his job in midfield. Strikingly consistent, Doug’s not one for massive displays of extrovert play, but what he does, he does very well indeed.

Rob Wimble (Striker) (DOB 05/01/1985) Rob joined Pagham having played for Walton and Hersham amongst others. More than once he’s proved his pedigree in front of goal, and often looks a class above the defenders unlucky enough to mark him. A consistent goalscorer, he easily took over from Lee Stevens in the role of Pagham’s main striker. A threat even when playing “in the hole”, when he’s marked it often creates space for others.

Dan Martin (Striker) (DOB 14/10/1988) Dan being one of the youngest players on the Pagham books hasn’t stopped him from showing some quality displays during last season and this. His strength on the ball and his eye for goal have meant that he’s a valuable member of the team, and even when recently used in midfield he still managed to find himself space for scoring opportunities.

Michael Frangou (Striker) (DOB 21/08/1985) Another product of the Pagham youth team, Michael is a consistent goalscorer, and his recent header against East Grinstead was one of the best goals he’s scored. He has become a regular partner for Rob Wimble up front following some excellent displays in the pre-season. Scored a magnificent 28 goals in season 2006/07
