Player Reports 2000
A. Stevenson: Coincidentally the Leopards most successful season has been the first Big Stevo has actually missed. How ironic. However from the few games he has played, Leopards fans need not worry, his distinctive running style is still there. Next season, Red Rum�s only serious competitor over 2 furlongs will be once again be bobbing his head up and down. The season experiment with the New York FT footsies has failed, don�t worry Leopards aficionados; the man who can�t is back.

General remark: It�s gonna be great to great to get you back.
Mark: Ab (absent)

C. Stevenson: It is possible that one of the casualties to go due to Leopards promotion could be the ginger whinger. One can�t help but compare Charles to Mick Stockwell. Realising he had no pace, Mick tried to make it into Midfield from right back, but seeing that he wasn�t up to it, Mick has now bowed out before it becomes embarrassing in the Premiership. For me, that mirror images Charles� career, except Mick wasn�t so desperate as to try and become a goalkeeper as Chazzy did so appallingly badly. For me, Charles�s career at the Leopards could be over as new signings are sure to be brought in to replace those bit part players who don�t really have a position. All I ask is that the Captain lets him down gently, the Leopards is all he has got.

General remark: We�ll miss you, a real servant to the club.
Mark: A sympathetic D

H. Stevenson: An unfulfilled talent, who one can relate to Gazza. Used to be energetic and exciting, lost it, and is now very much an injury prone absent friend. When will Hudgie start beating up his wife is my only question.

General remark: Don�t let life get you down Hudgey
Mark: B-

B. Rowland: A really good season by �Roly poly� with the only fault being the lack of goals. Having decided not to be a goalkeeper, much to the glee of Charles, Ben has knuckled down and is now a fully-fledged member of the team. However in an exclusive scoop picked up from the website, it has been revealed that Selworthy park have made a bid for the lovable rogue who they see as, �one of their own.� The fans would obviously expect the jester to stay, but the rift between he and the manager has grown wider in recent weeks, with the Captain increasingly getting angrier at what he sees as Ben destroying team concentration with constant games of mafia and his brazen wit. The signing on fee of a box of mars bars can only make the transfer more likely.

General remark: Don�t go Ben make up with the Manager
Mark: B


N. VandenArend: Has he got a left foot?

General remark: A bit better than last year, but still a way to go
Mark: C+

J. Cassy: JC, just because have moved to a boring newspaper, that is no reason for you play to become boring. I remember when you used to score 25-yard volleys from outside the area after having dribbled round two men. Was it simply a dream? Dare one say that there is a little bit of Mark Hughes in you now, a bit of convention in your striking. The thing that marked you out before was the way in which one never knew what one was going to get next. The ball was either going to run out without you touching it, or you�d touch it. Now one knows the ball is going to run out, without you getting near it. Lets get some of the Cantona back in you.

General remark: Generally fine, with moments of genius.
Mark: B-

S. Brooke: Well done young Stephen. Unlike Charles, you have changed position successfully and now very much provide a good outlet on the right now. With Big Stevo coming back next year, you must now think of how you are going to be able to get any distribution, and you will need to come into the centre a lot more. You are one of the few players one can say is a division 2 player.

General remark: Lets make next season even better.
Mark: B+

P. Taylor: Seriously impressive, a superb season.

General remark: Contender for player of the season.
Mark: A

Dr. Swayne: Once again, Orlando Swayne�s report is the last.
