THE LINCOLN HEROES A STEP FROM WEMBLEY...
PAUL FARMAN
Pulled off one of the best pranks at Sincil Bank when he got midfielder Alex Woodyard a bag a crickets for Secret Santa while all of the players were in the dressing room. The prank had everyone on their feet. A mad-cap goalkeeper.
BRADLEY WOOD
Pals say he’s had a tough life due having little hair for a 25-year-old and takes out his anger on opposition players.
LUKE WATERFALL
The last one off the training pitch and the first on it. He’s the captain and the 26-year-old leads by example.
NATHAN ARNOLD
Had to mourn the passing of his mum in 2015 and grew up for 20 years without his dad in his life. The players’ hairdresser and the nicest man in the dressing room.
TERRY HAWKRIDGE
Alan Power’s best mate. When they’re together there’s going to be trouble. A joker with ability on the pitch.
ALAN POWER
Went to school with UFC star Conor McGregor. Attempted to pull off the ‘billionaire walk’ after scoring against Brighton.
MATT RHEAD
Used to work building JCBs. Opposition fans call him ‘fatty’ and much, much worse. He loves that.
JAMIE McCOMBE
Started his career in Lincs with Scunthorpe United and is finishing it back in the Bomber county with Lincoln City.
SAM HABERGHAM
Knows bosses Danny and Nicky Cowley from Braintree, They’ve labelled him ‘Seven’ due to how consistent he is.
SEAN RAGGETT
Holds a number of records at Lincoln in the gym. No one beats him in there. Not that he’d shout about it, though.
ALEX WOODYARD
Has been with Danny and Nicky Cowley since their days at Concord Rangers. Holds the midfield together well.
JACK MULDOON
Best mates with X Factor and I Am A Celebrity star Jake Quickenden. Wanted to be a rock star but settled for footballer.
JOE WARD
On loan from Brighton. Couldn’t play against them in the last round. Keeps things ticking over. Hot prospect.
DAYLE SOUTHWELL
On loan from Wycombe but missed their FA Cup game at Tottenham. Developing nicely as a striker in non-League.
DANNY COWLEY Manager
Someone who can never say no. Regularly gets back to his home in Essex at 3am much to the displeasure to his wife Kate. He rarely gets more than four or five hours a sleep every night. Always thinking about the next game.
NICKY COWLEY Assistant Manager
The younger brother and a bit more relaxed. Always grafted under Danny. He was head of boy’s PE at Fitz Wimarc School last year in Essex while Danny was head of PE.
