Meet the teams: Woodford Wanderers

articlemain

Jerome Marks and Daryl Kay have been unveiled as joint-manager for the forthcoming season as they look to return to the top-flight at the first time of asking.

Kay has played for the club since its formation in 2008, winning numerous league titles as goalkeeper-turned-striker. Jerome has made a remarkable transformation from ever-present striker-turned-full-back turned centre-back. He has also won numerous league titles on the way to Woodford earning promotion to the Premier.

After flirting with a number of external candidates for the managerial vacancy, chairman Alex Aviram and the board have made a bold decision to promote from within, and have Woodford blood at the helm.

COMPETITIONS ENTERED: Division One, Peter Morrison Trophy, Cyril Anekstein Cup

HOPES FOR SEASON: Promotion via champions

SQUAD ADDITIONS: Ricky Fox, Andy Levy (returning after four years at Sosobad), Amir Nathan (ex-Redbridge veteran), James Ryan (returning after winning the Division One title with Woodford two years ago), Eshed Rahav (ex-Israeli international), Marc Stern (in-law of the returning Andy Levy), Connor Silkman (chairman's first cousin).

WHICH ONE EXCITES YOU MOST? They all excite us!

PLAYERS OUT: None

ONES TO WATCH: Not giving away any secrets, sorry!

MAIN RIVALS: The only challenge we face is with ourselves

WHAT WILL YOUR TEAM BRING TO THE LEAGUE THIS SEASON? Expletives, burgers, wining spirit and possibly the finest subs bench in the history of Maccabi League football

CAPTAIN: Adam Poole - finally, after being vice, vice-captain for years

SPONSORS: Pandora/Emeson Hague
