White Tide F.C.

Andy Bailey

'Davor Suker look-a-like' Andy 'Noggins' Bailey joined the White Tide in 1996. He was a goalscorer with huge promise. However Bailey was ousted from the team after just five appearences. He failed to live up to the teams expectations.

Nick Emerson

Nick 'Stan' Emerson (the brother of former manager Lee Emerson) played for the Tide for four years. He was a midfield general and with his ledgendary tackle could more than adequately fill in at the back, the only form of protection he knows. Nick would often do extra training before a match, sometimes until 4am practicing his shooting capabilities.

John Mitchell

John was a White Tide player for three years. He was a member of the White Tide glory team in the 1997 season, becoming the Tides penalty king with a 100% record from the spot. John always played with an unusual laidback approach and a grin on his face.

Jim Muir

Jim Muir is simply a White Tide legend. He first appeared for the Tide back in 1996 and still makes the odd appearance now. Jim can play in defense, midfield or attack and has one of the most powefull shots ever witnessed by mankind. When playing Jim give the team so many options.

Paul Northgrave

With 37 goals in 42 appearences earning himself the tag of 'goal machine', it comes as no suprise that Northgrave has become a White Tide legend. A valuble member of the Tide's glory team of 1997, Northgave was not only famed for his scoring but also his infamous turns and impossible angle shooting. However Northgrave was forced to retire in 1998 due to a nagging injury. It was decided that because of his scoring achievements it was decided that his famous number 9 shirt should also be retired.

Russell Westwood

Russell 'The Mod' Westwood is a player that will always be remembered by the White Tide. His authority on the pitch and commitment to the team can never be questioned. Indeed he once played a full match for the Tide in a Policeman's hat and would often make a 100 mile round trip just to play. But what finally spelt the end for Russell was his lack of skill and understanding of the game of football.
