Paul Davies Name Paul Davies
Position Goalkeeper
Details 'The Goose' joined the club in 2009 after a highly successful spell in youth football, including being awarded Houlihan's Birkenhead Sunday Football League Young Player of the Year in 2008-09. Made a vital contribution to the Club's Premier Division title success of 2009-10 and continues to set high standards.
Aaron Kinnear Name Aaron Kinnear
Position Goalkeeper
Details Recently joined the club following spells at Wrexham and GAP Connahs Quay in the League of Wales. Has greatly impressed in the games that he has played so far this season and looks to have all the attributes of a top goalkeeper.
Paul Wood Name Paul Wood
Position Defender
Details 'Pebble', an extremely popular and long serving character within the team who tries his hardest to lead the youngsters astray. Has enjoyed considerable success with the club as a no-nonsense, solid and reliable defender always looking to get forward and support attacks.
Jason Williams Name Jason Williams
Position Defender
Details The definitive Dock AFC Legend. Has recently stood down as the most successful manager and player in the Club's history due to work and family commitments. Fierce competitor who you would want beside you in the trenches. Highly regarded and respected by team mates, not often so well appreciated by opponents. Recently completed 20 years as a Dock player and easily the most decorated in our illustrious history.
Tommy Hunt Name Tommy Hunt
Position Defender
Details Another new recruit to the Club who has quickly established himself as a solid defender with pace and energy which defies his age and experience. Another one for the future who if he keeps his feet on the ground looks sure to have a great footballing career ahead of him.
Matty Carlin Name Matty Carlin
Position Central Defender
Details The 'eternal student'. Been at the Club for a few years now and on his day is one of the most accomplished central defenders in amateur football. Has all the attributes as a future leader in the team and again made a vital contribution to the league championship winning side of last season.
Paul Byrne Name Paul Byrne
Position Defender
Details Another who joined the Club last season and with his history was always destined as a 'Docker'. A former Cheshire Youth player who as a schoolboy performed with distinction at Blackburn Rovers and Chester City. Enjoyed a great first season with the Club turning in solid, reliable performances which would normally be expected of someone much older. Definitely one for the future.
Lee Hammond Name Lee Hammond
Position Defender
Details Another new recruit to the Club who in a short period of time has impressed everyone with his absolute class. Runs all day, has Brunty's left foot, tackles anything that moves, makes and scores goals, what more could we ask for? Has settled in really well and has become an integral and popular character in the dressing room who really appears to be enjoying his football.
Colin O'Hanlon Name Colin O'Hanlon
Position Defender
Details Resolute defender renowned for his uncompromising, uncomplicated style. One of the longest serving stalwarts of the club, having joined as a fresh faced teenager back in 1996. Was a pivotal figure in the most successful period in the Club's history winning trophies and acolades aplenty along the way. Suffered from injuries in recent years which has disrupted his career but now appears to be back with a vengance.
Ross Carragher Name Ross Carragher
Position Defender
Details Currently lost somewhere in China. Good defender who has demonstrated great versatility whilst at the Club. Comfortable in any position in in the defence who displays energy, a great turn of pace and a sound footballing brain when called upon. Another highly popular character in the dressing room who is greatly missed and will be welcomed back with open arms after his sojourn to the far east.
Shaun Holmes Name Shaun Holmes
Position Defender / Midfield
Details Affectionately known as 'Taz' to his friends (if he has any?). Probably the most naturally two footed, versatile footballer within the Club who is capable of demonstrating skills which would not look out of place in football's highest levels but who too often lets himself down when he allows frustration to get the better of him. If he could add consistency and maturity to his game could and probably would have been playing professionally.
Liam Simon Name Liam Simon
Position Defender
Details Resolute, consistent young defender who has become a fixture in the team since transferring from Queens Park earlier in the season, settling in immediately with hugely impressive performances. Equally comfortable either in the middle of defence or at full-back with a great future ahead of him.
Mike McGraa Name Mike McGraa
Position Midfield / Bench
Details Current player manager who last season became the youngest ever manager to win the Houlihan's BSFL Premier Division title. Seasoned campaigner with vast experience as a player at various levels who on his day can be almost unplayable. Currently enjoying learning his trade as a young manager who has shown a determination and enthusiasm for the job which rubs off on those around him.
Michael Saunders Name Michael Saunders
Position Midfield
Details Another long serving stalwart of the Club who on his day is one of the most exciting players to have graced Birkenhead Sunday football. Has demonstrated great versatility in recent years having previously been renowned as an old school style winger who encouraged defenders to committ themselves before showing a blistering turn of pace and leaving them in his wake. Now occupying a more central role either in midfield or as a striker with devastating effect.
Ian Brunt Name Ian Brunt
Position Midfield
Details Wholehearted, energetic midfielder who has a left foot like Kevin Sheedy's right (it's that good he's never had to use it!). Would probably die for the cause and usually leads with his head which is bigger than Joe Royle's! Has given sterling service to the Club enjoying great success over many years and continues to perform at a high standard.
Mark Head Name Mark Head
Position Midfield
Details "Javier Mascherano" look alike. Announced himself on the Sunday football stage last season after being released from Wrexham FC. A confidence player who on his day can be absolutely terrifying for defenders. Only thing lacking from his game is consistency which will hopefully develop as he matures.
Craig Johnson Name Craig Johnson
Position Midfield
Details Last year's Players' Player of the Season who was an absolute revelation in his first full season with the Club. Boundless energy, and enthusiasm who launches into tackle after tackle covering every blade of grass. His season last year was cut short by an injury which he is still getting over but has added much needed pace to an ageing midfield. Will hopefully be back to his best very soon.
Bernie Holmes Name Bernie Holmes
Position Midfield
Details "Bernard". A vastly experienced midfield player with a great attitude and reputation amongst both team mates and opponents as a corinthian renowned for playing football in the right way. Great energy and mobility and appears to have put injury problems which blighted his earlier career firmly behind him. Another whose fantastic contribution last season was testimony to the Club's Premier League title success.
Gary Reay Name Gary Reay
Position Striker
Details Club Legend. Current captain now enjoying his 15th season and heading towards his 500th goal in all competitions with the Club. Shows no signs of easing up and still retains the enthusiasm and desire that would see him knock over his granny in the six yard box if he thought there may be a goal in it for him.
Jamie Kenyon Name Jamie Kenyon
Position Striker
Details Another recent recruit to the Club this season who we have courted for several seasons since announcing himself as a striker of blistering pace, two great feet, good in the air and an impressive goals return. Has settled really well to his new role and is relishing the competition for places.
Paul Howell Name Paul Howell
Position Striker
Details Another new recruit who had previously enjoyed considerable success on the dark side in the Wallasey Sunday Football League. A strong, skilful centre forward who has demonstrated a great attitude and works hard at both creating and taking opportunities in front of goal.
Ian McGraa Name Ian McGraa
Position Striker
Details 'Iggy' McGraa, son of a legend in Wirral amateur football who shares the same name. A clever, intuitive footballer who has perhaps not yet achieved his full potential. Been at the Club for a few years now but his career has been blighted by injuries which have prevented him from a prolonged run of games. Has benefitted from a good pre-season and has started this season in great form.
