Ever wondered what the current Leyton Orient side would be like if they were playing Sunday League football? Well, here it is in the most stereotypical way possible!
GK - Dean Brill, The Scary One
Every team had that one player who was considered a genuine nut case and if you got on the wrong side of him, then good luck! This keeper would give you the hair dryer treatment that only Sir Alex would be proud of and if your team concedes a goal from a corner he would usually scream, "Who's man was that then?" - with the worrying defender acting like he's just seen a ghost... or Becchetti, which ever you consider worst.
RB - Sam Ling, The Managers Son
Not exactly the managers son, but close enough. This player in Sunday League can be either two extremes, he's either the best player on the pitch or the worst. Nothing in between. Luckily for us, Ling has impressed this season and let's hope he continues to do so.
CB - George Elokobi, Loudest Player
Who needs a microphone when you've got this player. Every Sunday League team has that one player who's the typical 'Jack the Lad' and you could easily hear his voice from a neighbouring county. Usually one of the most loved players, Elokobi certainly best fits this Sunday League stereotype.
CB - Josh Coulson, Keep the ambulance on stand-by
Whether it's Akinfenwa or Mr T, this guy never shys away from a tackle. A lover of the rough side of the game, this rock hard defender would put his life on the line if it meant his team wouldn't concede a goal - and trust me, if you ever had the misfortune of being hit by a Sunday League 'Mitre' football, then you know the pain. Nonetheless, he's a player that every team needs on a Sunday morning.
LB - Joe Widdowson, Just gets on with it
Not much to really say about this player, he turns up every week, he never moans but he just does his job. Furthermore, he picks up all the cones after training, fills up the water bottles before the game and collects the corner flags after the game. Usually wins the 'Clubman of the Year' award more or less every year without fail.
RM - James Brophy, CR7 of Sunday League
It's almost traditional to have this player, a silky winger with more tricks than a magic book and boots brighter than the sun itself. Unfortunately for this player, he hasn't had a good game unless he has multiple wholes in his socks from tackles and is limping off the pitch at the final whistle with a suspected broken leg.
CM - Ebou Adams, The Hero
This player is the glue that holds this team together. Usually quite a quiet character, however, he lets his performances on the pitch to do the talking. Normally a strong contender for Player of the Year every season, the manager will treat this player as the son he never had - much to the annoyance of his actual son who warms the bench each week.
CM - Jobi McAnuff, Mr Serious
This player has had multiple deadlines this week at work, his boss thinks his working unbelievably hard to make sure that it's done in time. Has he done it? Course not. He only has eyes for Sunday morning as he figures out the teams best formation, starting line-up and training drills which he will inevitable chew his managers ear off about at Tuesday night training.
LM - Lamar Reynolds, "I had trials at West Ham I swear'
At every opportunity, this player will slip into conversation that he once had trials at West Ham or any other Premier League club. The player will demonstrate an ounce of quality, possibly a step-over or maybe scoring a worldie free-kick he will never be able to do again to later add the infamous line.
ST - Macauley Bonne - The Quick Lad
Usually one of the younger players in the team, this player could normally run so fast that by the end of a long 90 minutes marking him, you genuinely believe that he would give Usain Bolt a run for his money. Despite this, the forward would be presented with a large amount of chances and would usually miss a large percentage of them but will score, eventually.
ST - David Mooney - Mr Loyal
This player has played for your local sunday league side from when he played under 4's until he was 44, a true veteran of the club. He knows the club inside out and is loved dearly by everybody involved.
