Blond haired pretty boy, equally at home in a boy band or a football team, hence the pet name. Westy signed for a few quid from Mansfield in the summer 2004. Liam occupies an attacking central midfield role in the team. The only proper player in the side with two bona-fide nicknames, his hilarious manager and team mates call him ‘Lennie’. In his fledgling SAFC career, he has played 24 games, scoring 5 goals, not including the one he tried to nick off bridges of course.

Cunnington was a near-permanently injured central midfielder; this probably has something to do with his slight frame. Signed by Malcolm Crosby from Grimsby Town in the early 90’s for a vastly inflated sum of 650k, Cunnington’s finest hour was trying to decapitate Bryan Robson (no, not Pop Robson, the other one) during a keenly contested 2-2 draw at Ayresome Park. 65 appearances and 9 goals.

A big favourite until that misfortunate contract business meant it all turned sour. One of the most skillful members of the ’99 promotion winning side, Magic had joined from French side Rennes, having previously played for Hearts, whom he had left under a cloud when his contract was up. We should have known what to expect. Enjoyed spells on loan at Birmingham and Bolton whilst exiled from Reid’s team before finally sealing the move to Rangers that he’d set his heart on. Didn’t make the grade there and moved down to Boro, where he was recently released. Was last seen turning out for Scottish strugglers Kilmarnock. His record in Red and White reads 102 games and 20 goals.

Just gets the nod ahead of the Discopanted wonder that is Niall Quinn. Stickman earned his name thanks to his astonishingly undernourished appearance when first breaking into the side as a raw seventeen year old. A few packets of Monster Munch and battered Yorkies soon had him filled out and who knows; maybe they had an adverse affect on his fitness? In one and a half spells on Wearside, Stickman has appeared 105 times, mostly from the bench and made the net bulge 23 times.

Born in God’s backyard, but started out with Spawn of Satan FC, he was one of the best strikers never to play for England. Eventually he arrived from West Ham in 1974, he stayed for two years, went back to Albert Square for three years, came back here for another two, did Chelsea and Carlisle before coming back to us for a third time. Managed us for one game after hanging up his boots, before moving around the world of coaching. Count Leeds, Man Utd and ourselves (twice more) among his employers. 174 games, 67 goals. Moniker derived him from his ability to appear from nowhere to pop up with a goal, the 40 somethings Gary Rowell if you like.

Also involved in the unfortunate Mary Melville car crash incident, ‘Tippy’ was so-called because his initials are PG, jus like the tea, geddit? A member of the ’96 promotion side and a barber’s nightmare with his long locks. We saw him worse for wear many a time in town and on one occasion had to pick him up and put him in a taxi outside of Annabel’s, but he denies it. Scored 41 goals in 134 games before leaving on a Bosman to try his luck on the continent.
