Arseton Villa AFC were established at the beginning of March 2009. A team made up of 7 lads, with ages ranging from early 20's, to early 30's. The team was started by a small group of ex-work colleagues that wanted to play footy a bit more regularly for fitness and for fun! That has grown to a bunch of 7 core players that get on well together and have so far achieved, well, not much, but you never know what could happen in the future!!

The Team

Andy Kennedy - Goalkeeper

Andy is known as "Facesave" due to his amazing ability to make saves using his face. He's an excellent shot stopper and has won numerous man of the match wards for his sterling performances, despite being under the kosh at times.

James Boggild - Centre Half (VC)

James, or Jim as he's known to the team, is the teams main defender. An excellent reader of the game and distributor of the ball, he sits at the heart of the team and provides good quality defensive cover. Never backs out of a challenge, and puts himself on the line for the team.

Frazer Tomkins - Defensive Midfield

Frazer, otherwise known as Fritz, is the type of player that can run all day, and that's exactly what he does for the good of the team. An excellent touch, and an eye for goal mean Fritz contributes to both our attacking and defensive aspects.

Paul Glover - Midfield (C)

Paul, or "Captain Pat" as the team affectionately call him, is the oldest member of the team. However, with his all action performances, you'd never guess this. He willingly chases every ball down, throwing himself open to injury by never backing out of a challenge. A bit of a "Roy Keane", never giving the opposition a moments rest.

Jon Glover - Midfield

Paul Glovers bruvva from the same muvva. Jon, or "Jon Boy" as the team call him, is another player that can, and will, run all day. Has a lethal shot on him, despite not scoring as many as he would have liked to, rattles the post and cross bar more than anybody else on the pitch! Makes excellent supporting runs forwards, but also does more than his fair share of defensive duties.

Kenny Thomas - Attack Midfield

Kenny, otherwise known as "Kenny G", the teams creative force in the middle. Dribbles the ball with ease and scores plenty of goals. Hasn't been with the team as long as the others, but settled straight in, and is certain to be pushing for the top scorers title at the end of the season. Can score from close range, or rifle in from distance.

Mick Weaver - Striker

Mick, also know as "Beaver", "Michael" or "Mike", plays the lone striker role to perfection. Can hold the ball up and wait for support, or turn and run at defenders. He has a shoot on sight policy, and this has ensured that he has been the clubs top scorer in every single season to date. He's strong and quick, and defenders HATE playing against him. He also deputises in goal on occasion, to great effect.
