Neil Lewis

Neil Lewis is one of the founding members of the Reserves and has agreed to take on the responsibility of managing the team. On the pitch Lewy brings many years of experience playing for the first team and also Duston Utd on Saturdays. He will be looking to return to his central midfield birth, having been seen as something of a utility man by previous managers he has played under due to his comfort at moaning from full back or anywhere across the midfield.

Lewy is a genuine goal threat whose late runs from midfield and will be a key figure in the teams quest for trophies / league consolidation. He will hopefully be allowed down the pub for more than an hour at some point during the season so that he can show the new lads his wine glass trick!

His dark eyes have already created a stir with some of the new lads and they will be even more excited by his plethora of nicknames including Dr Peath, Black Eyed Peath, Hot Rod, and many many more.

Cracks Starting to Appear Before Season Even Starts?

With pre-season not even started yet, sources from within the club are already talking about dissension in the ranks between the first team and the newly formed reserves team. News reached northamptonutd.co.uk that the first team had set a private first preseason training session, which was only revealed to new reserve team gaffer, Dr Neil “Peath” Lewis by a first team supergrass who was cloaked in a seal of privacy (and denim).

First team gaffa Karl Parsons was quick to quash any rumours at a hastily arranged press conference late this afternoon in a phone box in St James. “It’s simply a matter of miscommunication”, said the spindly manager. “We were lead to believe that the reserves wanted to train on their own in town, but having spoke to Das Kaiser, we now realise that everyone would like to get a good team preseason under our belts.”

Reserve team manager was unavailable to attend the press conference due to scouting commitments, but via live phone link (on an appaling phone line, we can only assume he was in central Africa at the time) he said “mmmmmmm, we joined Northampton Utd to continue the fine tradition of the club and enable mates to continue to play together. MMMmmm we look forward to both teams doing well next season, in what will be a ground breaking year for the mmmmm club.”

Exciting times indeed.

Training starts tomorrow (10/07/08) at Errington Park in Duston.

Town training will start on Sundays at the Racecourse at the start of August – everyone is welcome.
