Nick Morton

I am married to a wonderful woman, Fairlie, and have a fantastic son, Lex. Enjoyed four years with the D2s and looking forward to plenty more. I also enjoy long walks in the moonlight.

Mike Williams

Born the love child of Kevin Keegan after his 1976 tour of NZ, Mike’s football future looked better than most until the introduction of pies and beer. Mike now plays right defender for D2s. Favourite beer is all of them, favourite pie is Mrs Mac’s Steak & Cheese. Supports Everton.

Des Beeney

aka Chopper, Dezz-ezze, Camp Mother

Has enjoyed playing with the D2s and is in the best condition of his illustrious career.

Highlight of his seven-year stint with CFC was scoring penalty against Wanderers. Will eventually retire from football . . . yeah nah! Gunners forever.

Brett Halliday

aka Goatie

I am a rugby player trying to play soccer. I am still learning but hope to play for Chelsea in a couple of years. I think I’m good enough. Of course I wouldn’t be as good as I am without my beautiful wife’s support. Shabang!

Dave Norris

Usually the first into the bar and the last out of it – but mainly because he’s the club’s bar manager as well as Senior Club captain. Turns 40 this season but doesn’t look a day over 39.

Trent Frampton

aka Rubber

I enjoy a cold bourbon after a long game of footy. I support the mighty Liverpool and anyone playing Man Utd. Cambridge is my team and the D2s is the way to go. Free to a good home.

James Pocock

aka Pokes

Have been playing soccer for Cambridge for eight years and was promoted to the D2s four years ago. Tokoroa, look out for my ‘Tokoroa style’ football.

Les McKinnon

aka Macca

When not injured, plays midfield for the best bunch of lads in soccer history. Enjoying the game is more important than the final score. I enjoy long walks on the beach in bare feet and a beer in my hand.

Ben Feaver

aka Fanny

Passionate Cambridge Football Club supporter, big hitter and like to bitch and moan. Red’s my favourite colour and I like long walks on the beach.

Russell Tattersall

aka Tatters

This midfield colossus is new to the D2 family. Has a ferocious left foot and supports the might Red Devils. Also partial to long evening strolls.

Eddie Roberts

aka Eddie The Maori

Proud Ngapuhi Ngati Puro. Been playing in D2s for six years with every year being awesome. Favourite number is 9. After a long game of football, my favourite thing is to relax with the boys and a nice appletini. CFC for life.

Mathew Wheeler

aka Matty

At 13, helps to bring the average age of the D2s to under 40 (just). The most enthusiastic member of the team and loves pouring the drinks before the game. This is my passing through year, hopefully passing wind as well as Des.

Hayden Curin

aka Bags

Have been in the D2 family for many years and probably many more. Have scored only three goals but that’s two more than Des. The best was against the D1 team last year.

Ben Coomber

In my second season with the D2s but feels much longer. Normally plays in midfielder as more of a creator than a finisher but pops up with the occasional goal. Is a proud fan of the mighty Tottenham Hotspur (bring on the Champions League!) and now Cambridge.

Darcy Stannard

aka Pizzle

At 48, the oldest member of the team, and the longest serving in the D2s with eight seasons. My two sons also play and we really enjoy being part of the Cambridge club. If I’m not on the paddock, you’ll find me fishing or diving. Tight lines!

David O’Donnell

aka DOD

A firefighter who has come out of retirement after 20 years and now in my third season with the D2s and loving it. Enjoy making the pre-match Schnapps for the boys. Celtic’s my team – go the ‘Hoops’. At 45, second oldest member of the D2s.

Geoff Wheeler

aka Big G

Missing most of last season, has fired up the big guy in the middle. Known for his stamina rather than his speed, he played his first 90 mins of footy recently. Scores the odd goal with his head but is better distracting defences, leaving gaps for teammates. His secret weapon was introducing his son to the team this year.

Damon Inia

aka Tiny

An ex-policeman, Damon is a contender for this season's D2 season-long Biggest Loser contest (for which first prize is a $50 McDonald's voucher). Solid and muscly, you don't go into a 50-50 with Tiny and expect to win the ball.

Coach: Greg Zeuren

aka Dutchy

It’s his job to sort out the wheat from the chaff – and make sure the chaff gets onto the pitch. Spends much of his time tracking down missing players who are usually found wandering moonlit beaches at night.
