Ruddy is our number 1, and he deserves it, mind Along with Declan Rudd and Steer, they´re three of a kind, Number 2 is Martin R, our Mister Versatile Coming in at number 4, is Johnson who runs miles, Number 5 is Morro, still thirsty to score While at 7 we have Crofts, who´s ready for a chore, Vaughan at 8 has much to prove to himself and to us He´ll be like a new signing if he stays clear of fuss, Then at 9 who else but Holt, a clear leader of men More than ready you can bet, to terrorise again, Coming in at number 10, wearing the maple leaf Is Jacko who is out to score a few more than the chief, Surman with number 11, steady as a brick While Pilkington at number 12 has a deadly free kick, Rudd we´ve mentioned with 13, no unluck here as yet And 14 Wesley Hoolahan, a more than safe-ish bet, In at 15, David Fox, he of the sublime pass Then at 16, Martin C, who could rejoin the class, Bennett E. at 17 had a good first year here He´ll look to build, along with 18, Smith, should he appear, Coming in at 19 is the good King of Spain Who always does what he can do, not only in the rain, Barnett in at 20, and Ward at 22 Both will be so determined not to let any through, And then it´s Tierney coming in at number 23 If we can keep him fit this year, just how good could he be, Next in line is Howson J. with number 24 I for one fully expect to see him blossom more, 26 is Ayala, one more with much to prove But what we saw last year suggests he soon could find the groove, Adeyemi 27, Francomb 28 Both I´m sure would be real thrilled if they should get a date, 31 is young Jed Steer whose time will surely come Even if not this year, sometime he´ll get a longer run, And finally on 33 is lanky Bennett R One of those who could well be an up and coming star, Butterfield and Whittaker have yet to find their place But when they do I feel quite sure that neither will disgrace.

To add to this I have just seen that Whittaker was 6 When playing against Hertha for his first spell in the mix,
