Formerly INTER ME GRAN
 
             

 

 

 

Despite using a number of players over our first couple of seasons as a team, we now have a settled first-team squad of 9 players, who are profiled below.

Also mentioned are some of our notable former players.


Current Squad

Adam Davy (Manager)

DOB: 17-09-87
Position: Defence

Info:
Founder of the original Inter Me Gran team in 2009, Adam is now moving into his fifth season of managing the team. He is a fast defender who isn't afraid of a challenge, and is also good at reading the game from the back and communicating with his team mates.

Danny Rodgers (Assistant Manager)

DOB: 21-02-88
Position: Attack

Info:
Upon the founding of the team, Danny was appointed Assistant Manager to take over running the team when Adam was unavailable. He plays as a striker and his goals have won us many games. Danny has a good touch, the ability to beat a man (twice over!) and a great shot on him. He also scored the winning penalty that won Inter Me Gran the 2009/10 Cup.


Rob Whittaker

DOB: 13-04-88
Position: Goalkeeper/Defence/Midfield

Info:
A versatile player who has been a member of the side since it was formed, and has barely missed a game since. Rob is comfortable both going forward and in defence, as proven by his strength in the tackle and supporting runs forward, a style which suits the PlayFootball leagues perfectly. He has also proved to be a good keeper on the few times he has volunteered to go in goal.


Jason Sedman

DOB: 06-03-88
Position: Defence

Info:
'Seddy' was one of the first people to show an interest when a team was being put together. After a few matches to get back into playing football and building his fitness up, he is now a rock in our defence, rarely losing out in any 50-50 challenge. Finally scored his first goal for us in this second season (although didn't do the promised lap of honour!).


Tom Poole

DOB: 11-12-87
Position: Defence/Midfield

Info:
Despite not being interested in playing at first, a substitute appearance when we were short of players soon changed his mind. Primarily a defender who blocks shots in any way possible, 'Pooley' is now more composed on the ball and likes to push forward. Suffered a nasty injury when dislocating his shoulder in the 2009/10 Cup Finals night.


Joe Poole

DOB: 01-09-90
Position: Midfield/Attack

Info:
Joe or 'Dudgie' (don't know where this nickname originates from!) is Tom's brother, and started playing for the side in early 2010. His ability to dribble past defenders with such ease, made him an instant hit and he was made a permanent addition to the side shortly after.


Dave Dawson

DOB: 12-11-86
Position: Midfield/Attack

Info:
A friend from school who had been away at Uni for a few years, Dawson is now back in York and has been a regular for us since the start of the third season. His biggest attribute is his goal threat, posessing a venomous shot and good technique.


Luke Smith

DOB: 29-10-89
Position: Midfield/Attack

Info:
Luke was signed up as an original member of the team, having played with Adam and Danny in 11-a-side football. After averaging a goal every other game for us over the first two seasons, he then had to leave due to other commitments. He has since rejoined us though, with a hattrick on his return proving that the PlayFootball style is suited perfectly to his powerful shooting.



Notable Former Players


Adam Bruce

DOB: 17-10-87
Position: Midfield

Info:
Despite living down south now, 'Brucey' has always made himself available for selection when back in his hometown of York. A goal-scoring midfielder who works hard and likes to dribble past players, there is always a place open for him in the side.

Neil Hunter

DOB: 02-07-88
Position: Defence/Midfield

Info:
With the team from the start, Neil played a handful of games at the beginning of our first season. He is strong in defence, whilst also posing a threat with his long range strikes, one of which helped us to win our first ever game! Injuries and other commitments led to him leaving the side.

Russell Leeming

DOB: 15-01-86
Position: Goalkeeper

Info:
Our original goalkeeper when the team was put together, 'Lem' played 10 games in our first season before other commitments meant he could no longer play.

Top


Andy Page

DOB: 02-11-85
Position: Goalkeeper

Info:
Took over from Lem as our first-team keeper towards the end of our first season. A top shot-stopper and good communicator, 'Pagey' will be remembered most for his decisive penalty shoot-out save in the 2009/10 Cup. After injury prevented him making any further appearances the season after, he then moved to live in Bristol.

Top


Jonny Turton

DOB: 08-07-88
Position: Midfield

Info:
Another of the original team members, Jonny played 6 times in our first season. He was a player who always managed to find space and wasn't afraid of the physical side of the game. However, financial problems prevented him making any further appearances.

James Whittaker

DOB: 28-02-87
Position: Goalkeeper

Info:
After many recommendations from his brother Rob, James replaced Pagey as the side's first-team keeper at the start of the second season and played for us up until the beginning of our sixth. A top shot-stopper with good handling, he will best be remembered for his massive contribution to us winning the league in our second year, as we didn't conceded a single goal all season.
