One of our defenders Andy Leeson has played every minute of all our 61 matches the season just gone! For our Peter Swales Challenge Shield match against Farsley Celtic he was made captain for the night. When we won the league Peter Snowden was our captain and for the Chairmansd cup final Richie Forster was our captain so that's three trophies with three captains  |

Tom Jordan, central defender & captain did likewise last season - picked up a ban this year which prevented a repeat, but last season played every minute, from the first friendly to the last competitive kick. Pretty impressive at our level. He's as bloody minded as his old man too - so it's a miracle he doesn't get more yellow cards than he has done  |

Also some top stats from our successful season:
Last season we kept 31 clean sheets!
So we've kept more clean sheets then matches where we've conceded a goal.
We have also scored a total of 110 goals and conceded just 47 goals in 61 competitive matches.
Oh and overall we've won 39 matches, drawn 13 and lost only 9 matches.
We only suffered two defeats on a Saturday (Lincoln at home in the UPL and Welling at home in the FAT).
We were the first team to beat Guiseley this season, the first team to beat Marine this season, the first team to score past Marine this season and the first team to beat Marine at Rossett Park this season (something we've done twice this season).
When North Ferriby were league leaders for a while we beat them 4-1 at their place and beat them 4-2 at Croft Park.
We had the best away record in the UPL - one of the best ever infact.
We recorded many impressive results obviously....one of them being the 3-0 win at Leek on wednesday night. Remembering Leek were in top form and we kicked off only 10 minutes after stepping off the coach!
Our top scorer is Robbie Dale with 37 goals in all comps.
This I think makes him the top scorer in English senior football or at leats one of them.

I get the distinct impression that you are rather satisfied with the way things have gone this past season, then Scott!!
Pretty impressive - especially the number of clean sheets. It's the most fundamental way to success. Stop the opposition scoring - job half done.

It's the most fundamental way to success. Stop the opposition scoring - job half done. Am totally chuffed, honestly we thought our title challenge had faltered after losing 3-1 at Ossett with all four goals scored in last 10 minutes. But our 2-1 win at Gateshead put us straight back on track, next day we beat Radcliffe 1-0 and two days after that we beat Bradford 2-0. The Frickley dropped points at Wakefield and we drew at Witton the night after. We thrashed Runcorn on the saturday whilst Frickley won at Ilson, Frickley won at Matlock on the monday and we then won at Matlock on the Tuesday. Then Frickley lost at Whitby on the wednesday night and on thursday night in fron of 1024 we beat Guiseley 3-1 at Croft Park to all but win the league. But to make sure on saturday we beat wakefield 3-0 at Croft Park infront of 1250. We celebrated all night and many of us didn't leave until early next morning. The comparisons with our title winning season of 94/95 are remarkable. In that season Harry Dunn was also in charge and we thought we had lost it with a late defeat at Bamber Bridge. Been brilliant! ;D |

No one is allowed to be an ever-present at Tamworth.
Any player looking like playing more than twelve games in a row is either flogged to Hinckley or kicked sharply in the cruciates.
It's the only way Mark Cooper can maintain his highly successful revolving door style of management.
