1st Team Squad Profiles
Dane (Daneo) Palmer (24) - Goalkeeper - regular 1st team 'keeper for the past 4 seasons, came up through the Cranleigh Youth system having spent some of his youth football with Millwall. The saying 'you have to be a bit mad to be a goalkeeer' fits Dane perfectly on and off the pitch! Chelsea fan. Dane missed all of the 2010/11 season with a long term back injury, lets hope he recovers in time for next season.
Paul (Skittle) Inwood (25) - Right Back - made his debut aged 16 in 2001 in The Combined Counties League and has played every season since. Has developed into an overlapping full back who topped the goal assists table for the club in 2009/10 and ended up as the player of the year. Blackburn Rovers fanr with a growing pride of lions tattoos.
Ben (Horno) Horne (24) - Right / Left Back - Club Captain and sometime Social Secretary, Ben has been a regular for the past 5 seasons and has very capably filled in at left back the past 2 seasons despite it not being his favourite position. Ever optimistic character, but then he does support Fulham!
Matt (Butch, Roo) Butcher (36) - Center Back - Cranleigh's longest serving player, by some distance, coming up to 18 years and still going strong. Former 1st team captain who missed most of last season through injury. Matt supports West Ham.
Marc (Cobbler) Cobby (24) - Center Forward / Center Back - having started as comfortable center back is now developing into a more than useful target man, also contributing 9 goals this season. A West Ham fan.
Luke (Ram) Palmer (26) - Midfield / Striker - Very talented player who can play in a variety of positions (including in goal). Eldest of the 3 Palmer brothers, who also had a spell at Millwall. Top scorer for past 2 seasons, a great achievement as he plays many games in midfield as well as a striker. Another sensible Chelsea fan.
Dean (Deano) Goddard (25) - Utility - son of former Cranleigh 'keeper Mick, Dean has played several positions for Cranleigh since breaking into the 1st team as a teenager. A model player for any manager to have, his only fault is that he supports Liverpool! Player of The Year for 2010/11.
Luke (Luca) Zatwardnicki (19) - Midfield - youngest of another set of 3 brothers at the club. Broke into the 1st team last season at 17 and looks set for a permanent place for years to come. A free kick specialist with a very good football brain for a young player. Supports Portsmouth along with Dad Kim and brothers Maz & Ben.
Tom (Puttsy) Puttock (22) - Center Back - two footed ball winning defender that reads the game well. A very accomplished player who signed for the club last season having slipped through the net 4 years ago. Looks set to be a permanent fixture. One of the growing number of Spurs supporters within the club.
Greg (Reggie, Forrest) Palmer (22) - Striker - youngest of the Palmer clan and one of the few left footers in the club. Joined the senior club towards the end of last season having been with Three Bridges and Storrington after having had a long spell at Millwall with Dennis Wise, should be a Chelsea fan but follows the red half of Liverpool. Currently playing for Aberavan Athletic FC whilst at University in Glamorgan.
Sam (Horno) Horne - (24) - Striker / Midfield - twin brother of Ben who has been scoring for both 1st & 2nd teams over the past 4-5 seasons. A Chelsea fan so obviously the smarter of the twins!
Mark (Chicken) Thomas (26) - Midfield / Striker - another of the squad who has experience of our Combined Counties Days. Missed most of last season through a knee ligamant injury that required an operation. Claims to be in the army at Sandhurst but never seems to go anywhere. Supports Man Utd.
Dan (Sparky) Sparkes (25) - Midfield - long serving player, Mr Dependable in midfield with 2 good feet. Just back from a long term back injury hopefully fixed by a course of injections. Blinkered Spurs fan.
Chris (Chump) Hughes (25) - Goalkeeper - shared the 2nd team goalkeeping duties last season but this year is the #2 'keeper in his own right. Another Cranleigh Youth product and one of the best trainers in the club. 2nd X1 Player of The Year 2010/11.
Mark (Parso) Parsons (24) - Midfield - very skilful player equally comfortable with either foot, loves a Hollywood pass. Manager of Chelsea Ladies reserve team, which limits his time to train and play at Cranleigh but is looking to be more available this season. A Chelsea fan of course.
Simon (Bezza) Berry (25) - Midfield - now fully recovered from a knee injury sustained in the 2nd game of last season. Another Cranleigh Youth product who had a spell at Horsham, son of Cranleigh legend Chris, played every game of this championship winning season.
Dave (Burky) Burke (23) - Wide Midfield - established in the 1st Team this season after a short spell away at Loxwood with his twin brother Andy. Very quick wide player also capable of scoring goals as well as setting them up. Yet another Chelsea fan.
Stefan (Rhino) Brash (27) - Striker / Goalkeeper - last years 3rd team player manager made 10 very successful appearances in goal for the first team. A great club man.
Jason (J-Bird) Hill (21) - Striker / Defender / Goalkeeper - another versatile performer playing several positions for both 1st and 2nd teams. Another good club man who even referees the U12's on a Saturday morning.
Richard (Ricky) Newman (40) - Midfield - returned to his roots last season, having played under former manager Bryan Newman (father) before embarking on a professional career that spanned over 15 years. He signed professional forms with Crystal Palace in 1992. He played for Palace until 1995 when he joined Millwall where he stayed until 1999 when he left for Reading. He moved to Brentford in 2005. Brentford released Ricky in 2006 and he proceeded to join Aldershot Town, where he was given a player-coach role at the end of the 2007–08 season.
