Player of the season Announced
End of season review: Brett Crossingham
Appearances: 7
Goals: 10
Best Moment: His hatrick in the 6-6 draw with the Grand. In fact all of his goals were highlights
Lowest point: His goalscoring no-show in the humiliating defeat against Dudley’s Breakfast
If he was a professional player he would be: Wayne Rooney – An aggressive, proven goal scorer who causes continuous problems for opposition defenders.
End of season review: Tom Stewart
Appearances: 5
Goals: 0
Best Moment: His brave goalkeeping performance in the 6-6 thriller with the Grand. Only blemished by Ralph Miller’s late moment of madness.
Lowest point: Allowing an innocuous shot that seemed destined to go wide to slip past him into the back of the net.
If he was a professional player he would be: Kevin Keegan – Messiah and flawed genius. Showed flashes of brilliance but carried the weight of expectation on his shoulders. The Newcastle resident was part of the club’s DNA. Left the club and came back. The Apple of all Ghosts’ (except the poltergeists) eyes.
End of season review: Ralph Miller
Ralph Miller
Appearances: 7
Goals: 0
Best Moment: His solid defensive (and managerial) display in the 2-1 victory over Brighton Arthritic
Lowest point: His unfortunate deflection which put the ball past keeper Tom Stewart for a last minute equaliser in the 6-6 draw with The Grand.
If he was a professional player he would be: Gilles Grimandi – Tenacious, hardworking and sexually alluring. All of these things can’t hide the fact he is a very limited footballer.
End of season review: Rob Gill
Rob Gill
Appearances: 5
Goals: 1
Best Moment: His stunning mazy run and goal against Unreal Madrid
Lowest point: Conceding 8 in the Ghosts’ first game against Red Snapper
If he was a professional player he would be: Jose Luis Chilavert – Kept goal well and with finesse, but just as comfortable with the ball at his feet. Stopped and scored great goals.
Player of the week Announced
End of season review: Alex Civello
Appearances: 3
Goals: 2
Best Moment: His winning goal against Brighton Arthritic
Lowest point: Barely any. If pushed his slightly under-par performance vs RS2.
If he was a professional player he would be: Daniele De Rossi – Italian box-to-box player, at the focal point of every good movement and sorely missed when unavailable.
