FRANCESCO APICELLA	Defender	*187 Appearances*
Debut: 6th March 1983 v. Jolly Butchers (Edmonton Sunday League Division 3 Match at Bush Hill Park) Last Match: 27th February 1994 v. St. Mary's (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division 5 Match at Hazelwood Sports Ground)
Italian sweeper in the Franco Baresi mould, although his tendency to push up to the half-way line and play the offside trap (accompanied by his 'catch-phrase' of 'Middle, Middle, Middle, Middle') was risky to say the least ! However, 'Franco' turned out to be one of Rovers best-ever defenders after finally learning English sufficiently enough to get by after his arrival from Italy back in 1983, although he often had to miss matches due to work & family commitments and that was how his Rovers career finally ended in the early-90's. Still lives in the Edmonton area and works as an Italian food delivery driver.

*DAVID ASHTON*	*Midfielder*	*316 Appearances*
Debut: 31st August 1976 v. Cheshunt Youth (Friendly Match at Cheshunt F.C.) Last Match: 20th February 2000 v. Astral United (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division 2 Match at Hazelwood Sports Ground)
It was Dave Ashton who actually founded the club (see Club History) back in 1976, making his debut in our first-ever match as a 15-year-old. At the time, he was a Junior on Spurs books but 'didn't make the grade' (which was why he then became a passionate Arsenal supporter !), although he then went on to play in Senior Saturday football with the likes of Cheshunt, Hertford Town & Cambridge City amongst others. A brief spell of disillusionment with Rovers in the late 70's saw him make only occasional appearances, but it was throughout the 1980's that he proved to be a real club stalwart and inspiration with his Graeme Souness-style of play being perfectly suited for the tough Haringey League. However, a bad lack of fitness and family commitments forced him into 'retirement' in October 1990 until he got himself back into 'some sort of shape' to help us out with the occasional appearance or two during Season 1997/98 and more recently in February 2000 by turning out against Astral United, which turned out to be his last ever appearance for the club. Now lives in the village of Potton in Bedfordshire, but he still keeps in touch now and again.

*JOHN BEASLEY*	*Midfielder*	*235 Appearances*
Debut: 15th May 1991 v. Trojans (Pre-Season Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 17th July 2005 v. Europa (Risden Wood Pre-Season Tournament Match at the Met. Police Sports Ground, Chigwell)
'Junior', as he was more commonly known, made his Rovers debut as a 15-year-old way back in 1991 and played in four other matches before his 16th birthday, all of them being Friendlies. However, he didn't make his competitive debut for the club until the start of the 1994/95 Season (as an 18-year-old), but after that he became a regular in the side playing in a left-sided midfield role where his skill and ability (especially his 'step-over' trick) consistently 'bamboozled' defenders. As a teenager 'Junior' played for his School District Team, trained with Wimbledon and played in the Ryman League with Hemel Hempstead and could easily have gone on to play at a higher level, but like many other Rovers players he became disillusioned with the '100.m.p.h. football' and emphasis on fitness required to play at that level and decided to concentrate on Sunday football instead. Unfortunately, 'Junior' had to play out of position at left-back for most of the 2004-2005 Season and was also 'forced' to go in goal on some occasions, and that, together with our relegation from the Premier Division, led to him finally deciding to leave and join another team nearer to his home in Woodford for the 2005-2006 season.

*STEVE BEASLEY*	*Defender or Midfielder*	*343 Appearances*
Debut: 3rd June 1990 v. Sovereign (Pre-Season Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 21st March 2004 v. Lea Valley Royals (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Premier Division Match at Wormley Rovers F.C.)
The older brother of John, Steve played most of his Rovers 'career' as a right-footed left-back but unlike some in the professional game who try and do that, Steve could actually control and pass the ball properly and had a lot more natural ability, although a bad lack of pace tended to let him down on occasions ! Made his Rovers debut as an 18-year-old back in 1990 and was as 'quiet as a mouse' when he joined the club (having been brought along by Russell Beeden), but after getting used to 'a few beers' on a Saturday night he soon livened up and became one of Rovers most vocal players on the pitch. That saw him become Club Captain in the mid-90's and he since went on to become a Club Life-Vice President after serving on the Management Committee for a number of years. Was within easy reach of Demitrius Nurse's All-Time Club Appearances Record when he finally decided to stop playing in March 2004 (having moved to live in Royston near Cambridge), and it was quite likely that Steve didn't want the 'fame' that achievement would have given him.

*RUSSELL BEEDEN*	*Midfielder & Committee Member*	*308 Appearances*
Debut: 6th August 1989 v. White Hart (Pre-Season Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 17th April 2005 v. Tolmers (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division Four Match (Reserve Team) at Enfield Playing Fields)
Made his First Team debut in a Pre-Season Friendly against White Hart as a 16-year-old back in August 1989 after being brought along to the club by his elder brother Tim and gradually worked his way into the starting eleven as a forward in a useful partnership with the equally youthful Conor Mc,Govern in the early-90's. Russell was never a prolific goalscorer though and towards the end of the 1996/97 Season, he was moved into a midfield holding role where he was a revelation and a vital player for the club. Another player with good natural skill and ability, Russell unfortunately suffered from various injury problems in the late-90's which saw his weight 'balloon' although a liking for pizzas and cream doughnuts didn't help ! In fact a persistent problem with a leg infection resulted in Russell being advised by his Doctor to give up playing football altogether in the year 2000, and after that he only played in ‘emergencies’, mainly for the re-formed Reserve Team and more usually as a stand-in goalkeeper, a job he carried out superbly in the League Reserve Cup Final in March 2004. Russell was also a Management Committee Member from October 1995 until August 2006 and he is also a Club Life Vice-President. He is also 'sort of semi-famous', having had his name on the credits for numerous T.V. productions in his job as a programme editor and is more often known as 'Tarby' because of the gap in his teeth like comedian Jimmy Tarbuck ! Unfortunately, because of his job, Russell now lives more or less permanently in Manchester working for Granada T.V. and other companies and has had to resign from the Management Committee because of that.

*TIM BEEDEN*	*Midfielder & Committee Member*	*57 Appearances*
Debut: 7th August 1988 v. Taylor Walker Finches (Pre-Season Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 30th October 1994 v. A.F.C. Breda (London F.A. Sunday Junior Cup Match at Molesey Hurst Recreation Ground, Molesey, Surrey)
Made his debut as a 16-year-old back in 1988 and scored the winner in a 1-0 win against a Mercury Waltham League Premier Division side so his talent was obvious, especially when he scored one of Rovers best-ever individual goals in a 3-2 win against Coach & Horses later on that season. Went on to play in 57 Matches, scoring 8 Goals in total from a left-sided midfield position, but was forced into 'retirement' in March 1991 when he dislocated his knee playing for Norsemen in the Southern Amateur League on Saturdays and then, like his brothers Russell and Chris, put on so much weight while he was out of action that he had no hope of ever making a full recovery ! Did manage to play a one-off game as a substitute in October 1994 against AFC Breda (an easy 12-1 victory), but by then he had already turned his attention to serving on Rovers Management Committee and playing for Edmonton Cricket Club. Took a break from official Rovers duties during the late-90's though, before deciding to come back at the start of the 2001/2002 Season to replace the departing Gary Southam as General Manager (and undertake such jobs as putting the nets up, turning the muddy kit the right way out ready for washing and 'running the line' when Trevor Hughes doesn't feel like it !). Has now left the Management Committee again though following the demise of the Reserve Team, Cricket and all-night Poker commitments !?.

*ADAM BRAMLEY*	*Midfielder*	*120 Appearances*
Debut: 8th August 1982 v. Beechams (Edmonton Sunday League 'Friendly' Match at Firs Farm) Last Match: 23rd August 1987 v. The Cottage (Friendly Match at the Gosling Sports Centre, Welwyn Garden City)
Chingford-based midfielder Adam made his debut for our 'B' (Reserve) Side and was a regular for them in his first season with the club, but it was his switch to the First Team the following season which really saw him come into his own as one of the originators of the sort of 'Taking the Piss' skill which so many of our more recent players have been blessed with. However, after 5 good seasons he suddenly decided to leave at the start of the 1987/88 Season to concentrate on playing Saturday football in the Essex Business Houses League and spending Sundays with his family (and his guitar !). Was last seen in March 1998 when he turned out for the Edmonton Rovers Old Boys against the Current Side and was by far their best player on the day.

*JEROME BURNIKELL*	*Defender*	*208 Appearances*
Debut: 26th September 1976 v. Arras U-17's (Enfield Youth League Match at Carterhatch School, Enfield) Last Match: 30th January 1983 v. Crown (Edmonton Sunday League Division 3 Match at Pymmes Park)
Made his debut as an over-aged 'ringer' wearing school 'plimsoles' on a pitch ankle-deep in mud, such was our urgency for players at the time that he was called up 'at the last minute' and did not have time to go out and find some boots. However, he shrugged off the resulting 14-0 defeat to become Club Captain when Rovers moved into the Edmonton Sunday League and indeed Jerome is still the only player ever to have captained a Rovers side to a Cup Final victory (apart from in 5-a-side competitions). Formed a successful and long-running central defensive partnership with Demitrius Nurse in the late-70's and early-80's until he became disillusioned with the club after a run of poor performances and left to join rivals F.C. Turin. Is now a qualified referee and heavily involved in Youth Football.

*KARL CHRISTODOULOU*	*Defender*	*122 Appearances*
Debut: 7th August 1983 v. Fanfold (Edmonton Sunday League 'Friendly' Match at Durants Park, Enfield) Last Match: 25th March 1990 v. Cheshunt Park (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division.4 Match at Goffs Lane Playing Fields)
Defender of Greek Cypriot & Irish parents who was brought along to the club by his former St. Thomas Moore's (Wood Green) School colleague Kieran Mc,Gregor. Will always be remembered for his bizarre style of challenging for the ball with his arms held high above his head (and for the screaming schoolgirls who recognised him during one Rovers match - he was a Chemistry teacher at nearby Enfield County School at the time). Now lives in Bedfordshire (married with four kids) and is Head of Science & Technology at a school in Hitchin. Also still plays 5-a-side in a local veteran's League.

*TERRY CLARK*	*Forward*	*125 Appearances*
Debut: 28th December 1980 v. Crescent (Edmonton Sunday League Division 5 Match at Firs Farm) Last Match: 14th July 1993 v. Trojans (Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf)
Will always be best known by Rovers current players for slicing the ball straight at the camera numerous times whilst playing as a 'right winger' in the early-90's, but during the 80's Terry was quite a potent striker and he actually finished as Top Goalscorer by some considerable margin in the 1981/82 Season. Was always a real 100% 'trier' and is still keen enough to play 5-a-side regularly up in Ware even though he is now in his 40's !

*STEVE CRACKNELL*	*Midfielder*	*136 Appearances*
Debut: 24th August 1980 v. St. Paul's Church (Edmonton Sunday League 'Friendly' Match at the Barrass Surround) Last Match: 24th February 1985 v. Richmond (Haringey Sunday League Division 6 Match at Albany Park, Enfield)
Consistent if unspectacular central midfield player for the 'B' (Reserve) Team throughout their existence during the early 1980's with only 5 Appearances being made for the First Team. Declined the offer to play for the First Team when the 'B' Team folded and was not heard of again as far as playing football was concerned, although he apparently regularly drinks in The Beehive on Thursday nights (according to his old team-mate Mark Tepper)...not that any of our current players would recognise him.

*AARON DART*	*Defender*	*190 Appearances*
Debut: 11th October 1987 v. Goldflex (Haringey Sunday League Charity Cup Match at Enfield Playing Fields) Last Match: 28th May 1995 v. S.V.H. (Belgian Tour Match)
Jewish Right-Back (and a keen Spurs supporter - obviously !). Is now a Rovers Life Vice-President after a loyal career in which he became Club Captain and served on the Management Committee for a number of years. Was always highly popular with his team-mates and made up for his lack of height (and ever-increasing waistline) with 100% effort and determination. Moved to Sidcup in Kent after getting married shortly after his Rovers retirement, but still keeps in touch now and again.

*KEVIN DEDMAN*	*Forward or Defender*	*168 Appearances*
Debut: 19th September 1993 v. Data (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Roy Bailey Challenge Cup Match at Hazelwood Sports Ground) Last Match: 17th April 2005 v. Tolmers (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division 4 Match at Enfield Playing Fields)
Outrageously gifted left-footed player signed from fellow Mercury Waltham Sunday League side Lea Valley Royals as a 20-year-old back in 1993 after being brought along to the club by Life Vice-President Gary Southam's next-door neighbour (and former Rovers player) Darren Rorie...although he also knew the Beeden's and the Beasley's from his schooldays anyway. Won the First Team Player of the Year Award in Season 1994/95 as a defender, but played most of his Rovers career in the 1990's as a forward, finishing Top Goalscorer on three occasions. However, he left the club towards the end of the 1999-2000 Season in disgust at some poor team performances (in the days when most of our current First Team players went down the 'Polo' club every Saturday night !), but also due to a back injury suffered at work which resulted in him having to claim Invalidity Benefit, this also being the cause of general fitness problems which had affected his own game badly during the last few months of the 1999-2000 Season. Suddenly re-appeared playing for Division One side Europa during the 2003/2004 Season and subsequently re-joined Rovers for a second spell at the start of the 2004-2005 Season after losing his place in Europa's side. However, he then decided to move on again following the club's relegation at the end of that season and now plays for Division One side The Wheatsheaf.

*CHRIS DRAPER*	*Defender*	*189 Appearances*
Debut: 16th September 1979 v. Kingfisher 'D' (Edmonton Sunday League Division 8 Match at Pymmes Park) Last Match: 28th April 1987 v. Tottenham Mitre (Haringey Sunday League Division 2 Match at Firs Farm)
Consistent Right-Back who was brought along to the club by his former Bishop Stopford school colleague Demitrius Nurse. Was lucky enough to slot into a successful side in his first season and win some trophies, but he was one of a number of players who started to lose interest by the mid-80's and eventually leave. (Perhaps getting sent off for fighting in a Haringey League Cup Final didn't help ?!) Gave up playing football long ago, but still lives locally and keeps in touch with some of his old team-mates socially.

*JAMES DYER*	*Defender*	*100 Appearances*
Debut: 5th August 1990 v. White Hart (Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 6th April 1997 v. Winchmore Hill (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division 2 Match at Hazelwood Sports Ground)
Younger brother of John & Stafford who spent his early Sunday football career playing for Hornsey Vale in the Edmonton Sunday League before being 'persuaded' to join Rovers, where he then went on to become a useful if somewhat casual defender. Also spent a season playing for Somersett Ambury's Sunday Reserve Team in the mid-90's before returning to Rovers the following year. Will probably be best remembered for his man-marking job on 'some flash German playmaker' on Tour in 1992 where he stuck to him so tightly he even followed him off the pitch ! Two sending-offs in his Rovers career confirmed him as a 'typical Dyer' ! 'Retired' in 1997 to get married and move up to live in Cambridge.

*JOHN DYER*	*Defender*	*151 Appearances*
Debut: 20th May 1979 v. Southgate CTA (Edmonton Sunday League Division 8 Match at Firs Farm) Last Match: 14th November 1999 v. Sporting Club Tropic (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division 2 Match at Enfield Playing Fields)
Diminutive but tough-tackling defender who made his debut as a 16-year-old 'ringer' in a one-off match back in 1979 just to help us out when we were short of players, but was not persuaded to leave his club at that time (Winchmore Hill) until October 1987 when his arrival helped us to win the Division 2 title in the Haringey League that season. Unfortunately he then went off to play for Edmonton Sunday League side Bird In Hand for 5 seasons during the early-90's, but then returned for another spell with Rovers in 1996 when his experience proved vital in helping a number of young players (and the erratic Gary Southam !) get through their games. However, work commitments as a bus driver finally put an end to his Rovers career in November 1999 and he has not been heard from since.

*STAFFORD DYER*	*Defender*	*162 Appearances*
Debut: 8th November 1987 v. Duke of Cambridge Reserves (Haringey League Division 2 Match at Downhills Rec., Tottenham) Last Match: 12th September 1999 v. Hoddesdon Snooker Club (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Roy Bailey Challenge Cup Match at Presdales Playing Fields, Ware)
The eldest of the four Dyer brothers who have played for the club and probably the least talented, but a loyal servant to Rovers nonetheless and a real character (particularly when there is a video camera around !) Joined in the same season as his brother John, but always stayed with the club and was often a 'very vocal' supporter on the touchline on the many occasions when he was not in the starting line-up. However, work commitments as a furniture salesman and nightclub bouncer (in the now-demolished Townhouse !) put an end to his Rovers career in the late 90's.

*MARCO ELLERKER*	*Midfielder*	*77 Appearances*
Debut: 8th August 2000 v. Trojans (Pre-Season Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 12th September 2004 v. Northmet (Riverside) (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Premier Division Match at the Riverside Club, Turkey Street)
Experienced attacking midfielder who first played for Rovers in the 7-a-side League at the Southgate Hockey Centre during our Summer 2000 campaign, having been brought along to the club by Russell Beeden who was fortunate enough to be on Marco's side in a Film Industry 6-a-side Tournament at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Ground a few months earlier. Marco then subsequently signed up to play 11-a-side in the Mercury Waltham Sunday League and not surprisingly turned out to be a class act, especially after having had a successful spell with then Ryman League Premier Division side Chertsey Town in the mid-90's where his team-mates included ex-England Internationals Kenny Sansom & Ricky Hill ! Also previously played for Barnet Sunday League side Oakleigh Rovers, but the best moment of his footballing 'career' was undoubtedly when he starred in the Chertsey side that produced a shock 3-0 win against Enfield in the 1994 Ryman League Cup Final. Won Rovers First Team Player Of The Year Award twice in his four seasons with the club and is rated by many as our best-ever player, mainly on the basis that he was able to 'take the piss' in the Premier Division whereas most of our other 'greats' only did that at a lower level. Unfortunately, Marco probably joined us a few years too late, as he was in his mid-30's when he did so and had to give up playing football in September 2004 due to increasing work and family commitments.

*LEXTON HARRISON*	*Forward*	*133 Appearances*
Debut: 22nd July 1997 v. Trojans (Friendly Match at Picketts Lock Astroturf) Last Match: 9th January 2005 v. Percival (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Premier Division Match at Hazelwood Sports Ground)
Came to England from his native Jamaica in 1997 and immediately joined Edmonton Cricket Club to play his more natural sport but was soon coaxed into taking up football with Rovers even though he had never played in a properly organised match before. (Had only had 'kickabouts' on the beach in Montego Bay ?!). Was initially troubled by experienced Sunday League defenders 'winding him up' to try and get him sent off, but Manager Trevor Hughes's coaching soon paid dividends with Lexton's powerful build and pace bringing comparisons with Emile Heskey (albeit in a 'semi-humorous' article in a Camcorder magazine !). Missed the whole of Season 2001/2002 as he had to catch up on his studying after ending up in hospital with a bad knee injury suffered against Upshire Coach & Horses in March 2001. Was then more often used as a substitute as Rovers finished third in the Premier Division the following season, but he still managed to break the club goalscoring record by scoring six goals in one match in a Pre-Season Friendly against Division Four side BBFC in August 2002. Then played regularly for the Reserve Team on their re-formation for the 2003/2004 Season, but then became disillusioned with Sunday football after that and decided to try his luck in Saturday football instead with Spartan South Midlands League side Brimsdown Rovers. Much to the amazement of his former Rovers colleagues, Lexton has since progressed up the Non-League pyramid to play for Enfield Town in the Ryman League...as a defender !

*BILLY HOWARD*	*Forward*	*140 Appearances*
Debut: 17th August 1980 v. Finches (Edmonton Sunday League 'Friendly' Match at the Barrass Surround) Last Match: 3rd March 1985 v. Forest Royals (Haringey League Division 6 Match at Lordship Rec., Tottenham)
Was signed (along with a number of other players) from fellow Edmonton Sunday League side Cinova when they folded up in 1980, this coinciding with the 'B' (Reserve) Team's formation. Billy then went on to set all sorts of club records as a 'B' Team regular throughout their 5-year history with his pace, sharpness and trickery in front of goal being far too good for the bottom Division. Played just one game for the First Team, but was unable to stay and play for them when the 'B' Team folded due to a career-ending back injury caused by a carpet falling on top of him when he worked at the Cinova furniture factory !?

*JOHN HOWARD*	*Midfielder*	*131 Appearances*
Debut: 26th August 1979 v. Kingfisher (Edmonton Sunday League 'Friendly' Match at Durants Park, Enfield) Last Match: 22nd May 1983 v. E.N.M. (Edmonton Sunday League Division 8 Match at Firs Farm)
Elder brother of Billy, 'attacking midfielder' John actually signed for Rovers a year earlier and played an important part in the First Team's most successful-ever season in the 1979/80 campaign. However, he was often named as a substitute for the First Team and therefore dropped down to join his brother in the 'B' Team on their formation a year later where he got a more regular game. Left at the end of the 1982/83 Season due to work & family commitments (and old age ?).

*MARK HOWLEY*	*Midfielder & Committee Member*	*34 Appearances*
Debut: 3rd November 1991 v. Addison (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division Five Match at Enfield Playing Fields) Last Match: 23rd January 2005 v. Northmet (Riverside) Reserves (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division Four Match (Reserve Team) at The Riverside Club, Turkey Street)
Mark made his debut for the club as a right-sided midfielder in a 7-4 defeat to Addison in a Division 5 match during the 1991/92 Season after being brought along by his ex-Edmonton County School colleagues Conor Mc,Govern and Steve 'Willie' Platt. Played in 17 matches that season but then only played 13 matches in the next four seasons due to a persistent back injury and other commitments. Gave up playing completely after that although he still kept in touch by watching the occasional match and after doing some coaching in Youth Football he subsequently decided to give Management a try when our Reserve Team was re-formed at the start of the 2003-2004 Season. Managed to win the Mercury Waltham Sunday League's Top Club Linesman Award for Division Four that season and also received the club's Clubman Award from his fellow Management Committee Members in recognition of the tough job he had on his hands in trying to organise so many new players into a cohesive unit. Unfortunately, Mark decided to take a break from running the Reserve Team towards the end of their final season in 2004-2005 due to increasing work commitments in his job as a self-employed electrician and also because of the poor attitude of a number of Reserve Team players. However, he then became Assistant Manager to First Team Manager Trevor Hughes for the 2005-2006 Season, but has now moved to live in Braintree in Essex and cannot commit himself to the club for the time being.

*GARETH JOHN*	*Forward*	*202 Appearances*
Debut: 8th August 1982 v. Finches (Edmonton Sunday League 'Friendly' Match at Durants Park, Enfield) Last Match: 27th August 1995 v. Data Reserves (Friendly Match at the Barrass Surround)
A powerful but erratic Welsh-born centre forward standing well over 6 feet tall, Gareth would often frighten the lives out of defenders with his physique but then let himself down at times with wayward finishing, although he still managed to score a total of 116 Goals in his 202 Appearances. Joined the club as a 19-year-old and played fairly regularly until the end of the 1990/91 Season when he then decided to 'retire'. Made an abortive 'comeback' at the start of the 1995/96 Season which only lasted for two matches although he later played regularly against us in Pre-Season Friendly matches for Trojans. Still works as a graphic designer and indeed our club badge is one of his works of art !

*HUW JOHN*	*Midfielder*	*178 Appearances*
Debut: 16th September 1984 v. Kolok (Haringey Sunday League Match at Bush Hill Park) Last Match: 2nd May 1993 v. Castle United (Mercury Waltham Sunday League Division 5 Match at Grundy Park, Cheshunt)
Younger brother of Gareth, Huw made his Rovers debut in our first-ever Haringey League match back in September 1984 but that was his only game that season as he still had another year to complete at University. However, he became a regular the following season and played in virtually every match from then on right up until the start of the 1991/92 Season when he decided to play for the Armenian Youth Association on Sundays in another League. Came back to play regularly during the 1992/93 Season but then 'retired' for good after starring against Castle United in Rovers 'Best Ever Performance' and going out on a high note. A skilful winger/midfielder who will always be remembered for his 'mazy dribbles', particularly in our Haringey League days. Later played against us in regular Pre-Season Friendlies for Trojans on the Astroturf at Picketts Lock.

*KEVIN JOHNSON*	*Midfielder*	*155 Appearances*
Debut: 31st August 1976 v. Cheshunt Youth (Friendly Match at Cheshunt F.C.) Last Match: 24th February 1985 v. Richmond (Haringey Sunday League Division 6 Match at Albany Park, Enfield)
A speedy winger who was one of the original founder members of the club, making his debut in the first-ever match and playing regularly in Rovers first season (in the Enfield & District Youth League). However, along with a number of other founder members he declined to play in men's football when Rovers joined the Edmonton Sunday League for the start of the following season and only re-joined the club when the 'B' (Reserve) Team was formed in 1980. That saw him become one of the mainstays of the 'B' Team during the early-80's, but like many others he left the club and 'gave up' playing football altogether when the 'B' Team folded.
