| Adam | |
![]() |
Adamski is strangely enough the only Egyptian player we've had at the club. Now in his second spell after a few seasons playing for Lisvane in the South Wales Amateur leagues, Adaminator has this time managed to hold down his place for more than one game at a time. Adam is renowned for his consistent 100% effort, his bellowing victory chants of "You Knows It" and his corset. Adam loves to get forward from the back following his old midfield days but now finds it harder and harder each week to get back whilst clearing the blood from his nose. Adam has 3 children and works as a statistician for the Welsh Assembly. Adam has been appointed new 1st Team Manager with Scanny as his assistant so good luck because all the boys have faith in you. |
| Bingo | |
![]() |
Whiteheads Football Club's longest serving and most decorated player. You name the position and Bingo has played there. "Yes - even in goal - and flippin well too". Graham works his socks off in every game and can never be accused of not giving his all. Graham is the gent of the side and leads the troops by example. Off the field Bingo is famous for his successful lubricant, his terminator poseses, penalty misses and his Tina Turner tape. It's in the car. Graham runs his own construction business and lives with his wife Claire in Allt-yr-yn. "BINGO's BALL"!! |

Simon Jones (Billy) - Age 32 |
Striker |
|
|
In his old Rhiwderin days Billy was a thorn in Whiteheads' side for many a season. However after finally being poached away he managed to make the first team top goal scorer trophy his own year after year. Currently recovering from major plastic surgery Billy is most certainly the quickest player in the club and has severely been missed over recent games. Billy works as HR manager for Cardiff University |

Dave Thomas (Dai) - Age 30ish - Right Back
Dai has been at the club a few years now and being a PE teacher has introduced some youth players from his many contacts at the "Duffryn Academy of fine Arts". Dave always sets a good example to his young fledglings, having only been sent off once this season!!
Recently married and now with a baby Dave's attendance is now like a local bus service - doesn't show for weeks then comes along three times in a row!!!!
A reliable and honest "pro" (honest - yeah right Dave!!!), Mr Thomas is a solid defender, his moto being "they can't run without legs". Dave is an invaluable clubman helping out with the organisation of the 2nd side - his teaching experience coming in handy as running the 2nd's is like dealing with a bunch of kids!!!!!!!!
David Snell (Snelly) - Age 28 - Goalkeeper?
As you can see Snelly is a Forward, however up until a few months ago Snelly was one of Newports most feared forwards of the egg chasing variety, that was until, recently becoming a new dad, his Mrs Snell put her foot down on a potentially glittering career as Newport Saracens best ever second row forward. However we thank Mrs Snell for this, as, as soon as Snelly masters the rules of the round ball game, we might just have found a replacement target man for the legend that once was Moigi. Snelly is an I.T manager and lives in Rhiwderin
Gareth Pembridge (Pembo) - Age 26 - Right/Left/Centre Back
Gareth is one of the longer serving players in the squad with only a short gap season in his loyal service that saw him play for Lliswerry in the Gwent County First Division. Gareth is a tenacious pacy tackler who really would try and tackle a brick wall. Gareth would admit himself that his distribution is not always the best but that has not stopped him introducing Whiteheads to the "Reverse-Switch Pass". Gareth is married with 2 children and works for the Royal Mail.
Laurence Farrant (Faz) - Age 36 - Centre Back
Faz is one of the veterans of the squad but nevertheless one of the most reliable players in the club. Faz recently underwent a testicle transplant following a training ground accident but is now back to full fitness or as good as it is going to get. Faz recently made Whiteheads AFC history in December 2004 by becoming the first player to miss a match due to a 'hair appointment'. Faz is married with 2 children also and works as an I.T manager.
Adam Al-Nuaimi (Adamski or Adaminator) - Age 34 - Left Back/1st Team Player Manager
Adamski is strangely enough the only Egyptian player we've had at the club. Now in his second spell after a few seasons playing for Lisvane in the South Wales Amateur leagues, Adaminator has this time managed to hold down his place for more than one game at a time. Adam is renowned for his consistent 100% effort, his bellowing victory chants of "You Knows It" and his corset. Adam loves to get forward from the back following his old midfield days but now finds it harder and harder each week to get back whilst clearing the blood from his nose. Adam has 3 children and works as a statistician for the Welsh Assembly. Adam has been appointed new 1st Team Manager with Scanny as his assistant so good luck because all the boys have faith in you.
John Scanlon (Scanny) - Age 25 - Left Back/Left Midfield/1st Team Assistant Manager 
Scanny is one of those few players who can strike a sweet ball with either foot. Considering his height John is extremely good in the air, however heading the ball is not John's favourite footballing skill as it tends to mess up his ever changing bizzare hair styles. A great player who can and has played in almost every position, Scan is currently in rehab after his broken leg last year! He is at the moment helping Adam run the 1st Team until he is able to play again. Scan is a Storeman/Forklift Driver at Enersys and will be expecting his 1st child with his new parthner Kathryn. Congrats!!!!
Michael Davies (Peachy) - Age 24 - Midfielder
Peachy is also a member of the moscow lads but is one of the least talented of them all. A top guy that always asks for the team sheet to be called out again because he didnt hear is name called for the firsts! Mike has been a regular figure for the reserves and always gives his best but the fact he cant kick the ball no higher than 12 inches off the fall doesnt help him. He is doing very well for himself as he is a manager of Plum Centre in the back of beyond and has a company car. Mike is also expecting his first child with his wife Hannah so congrats to you both!!!
Kennedy Ward (KEN) - Age 24 - Right Midfield 
Ken is also a new member to the club but did play with the like of Doody, Scan, Bear, Lenny & Peachy a few year back at Mosco! As you can see he has time to grow his AFRO (shocking). Ken could of made it in athletic's but as time went on he got lazy as fuck. A former newport runner decided to stick to football to play with the lads but has not yet mastered a touch or cant head the ball, so no touch, cant head the ball & slowing down week by week. Ken will fit in great at the club as he is always up for a laugh and a night out!!
Graham Smith "CAPTAIN" (Bingo) - Age 33 - Centre Midfield
Whiteheads Football Club's longest serving and most decorated player. You name the position and Bingo has played there. "Yes - even in goal - and flippin well too". Graham works his socks off in every game and can never be accused of not giving his all. Graham is the gent of the side and leads the troops by example. Off the field Bingo is famous for his successful lubricant, his terminator poseses, penalty misses and his Tina Turner tape. It's in the car. Graham runs his own construction business and lives with his wife Claire in Allt-yr-yn. "BINGO's BALL"!!
Steve Sully (Clart/Thicklip) - Age 23 - Midfield
A product of Whiteheads' legendary 'Third Team', at the tender age of 23 Steve has managed to be involved in the club as a player (in between numerous failed attempts at cracking the welsh league) for nearly 10 years now. When not injured Steve is the club's undisciplined luxury player that every team loves to hate having in their side. Prehaps the choppsiest player in the club also, Steve is always good for boosting the Gwent County's bank account by the odd £8.50 here and there. Steve is a financial planning consultant and now a Cardiffian lives with his girlfreind Maria. "YOU KNOWS IT CLART!!"
John-Paul Edwards (J.P) - Age 25 - Midfield
Famous for his size 4 boots, J.P is the only player in the club who is able to buy a range of professional football boots for £19.99 in the kids section of JJB's. J.P was one of Newport's most talented and promising teenagers, achieving various trials throughout the professional leagues and gaining international honours for Wales at under 16 level. Unfortunately for J.P, he obvoiusly didnt eat his greens and didnt quite make it. Not long back after major knee surgery J.P is a heated player who likes to get stuck in to his own players as well as the opposition. J.P is an Electrician and lives with his Fiancee Kate.
Chris Jordan (Bear) - Age 24 - Midfield/Striker
Bear joined the club 2 seasons ago after his lifelong club Maesglas United went into solvency. Bear started his playing career between the stickes which some still think thats his best position but he will moan "i'm not going in." Bear is a proper mummy's boy because she cooks, irons, cleans, baths and if he could i'm sure he would get his mum to run around the pitch for him! Hoping to push for a regular 1st team spot chris has got its all just knows when all the BOGOF offers are on at McDonalds which doesn't help him.
Simon Jones (Billy) - Age 32 - Striker
In his old Rhiwderin days Billy was a thorn in Whiteheads' side for many a season. However after finally being poached away he managed to make the first team top goal scorer trophy his own year after year. Currently recovering from major plastic surgery Billy is most certainly the quickest player in the club and has severely been missed over recent games. Billy works as HR manager for Cardiff University.
Simon Howells (Simione) - Age 33 - Striker
Another of the quieter men of the club Simon has put a good case forward for a regular first team spot with some good displays in the reserve team as well as a glory goal in the cup against First Division side Undy Athletic. Previously of Welsh League outfit Caerleon, Simon is still battling away in amongst the hot striking talent of Whiteheads. Simon loves a bev or two in the big Diff after work and we all wish him well in his endless string of accounting examinations. Simon works for the Welsh Assembly, is married with 2 children and lives in Rhiwderin.
Nathan Marshall - (Sicknote) - Age 27 - Striker
Elder brother of Craig, Nathan's football career goes something like this "Marshfield - Whiteheads - Marshfield - Whiteheads - Rugby League - Whiteheads" - finally back with ourselves and carrying yet another injury Nathan is the club's most lethal dead ball specialist - that is when he can rip the ball from a bickering Scanny and Sully that is. When fully fit Nathan has proved to be the perfect foil for Billy, scoring numerous goals from all angles. One memorable strike that needs to mentioned is his 40 yard thunderbolt from a well worked Stevie Sully corner that helped Whiteheads beat Marshfield in their own backyard for the first time in the clubs history. Nathan is now a Bridgend boy and lives with his better half and two children.
Mikey Garrett - (Smokey) - Age 23 - Centre Forward
A product of Mike Walkers' Canaries. The young Michael was a budding star at the UK's first Soccer School of Excellence with Norwich City. Unfortunately for Michael he was introduced to the club's chairlady Mrs Delia Smith who passed him her secret recipe for Pukka pies. Michael has been a prolific goal scorer wherever he has played including his stint with old rivals Rhiwderin. Michael strikes a sweet ball and has never been afraid to take the game to the opponents on his own. "SMOKEY COME BACK"!!!. Currently back in the first team squad where he belongs, smokey has given up his 40 a day habit (for this week any way) and is now getting fitter game by game. As soon as Smokey can put a cap on his visits to the Fox we'll have a striker to be reckonned with.
