ANDREW LEESON – DECEMBER 2008 In a month of very few games, Andrew Leeson stood out as the player of the month. A solid performance in the FA Cup Replay at home to AFC Bournemouth helped the side keep a vital clean sheet and claim a money spinning glamour tie at home to Premiership Blackburn Rovers. Well done Andy!
MARK BELL – NOVEMBER 2008 Mark returned from injury at the begining of November and re-claimed the number 1 shirt. His performances in the FA Cup are the reason Blyth made the hat for the 3rd round draw. A great block from Grant Holt kept a vital lead against Shrewsbury and his heroics at Bournemouth earnt a fantastic draw. Well done Belly!
SIMON TODD – OCTOBER 2008 Simon has been the stand out player in an up and down month for the Spartans. His classy displays in the heart of the Spartans midfield have ensured progression through to the First Round Proper of the FA Cup for the first time in 11 years. Sadly this will be Simon’s last month with the club as his loan spell from League Two side Darlington…
RICHARD PELL – SEPTEMBER 2008 Richard Pell joined Blyth in the summer and has been a rock in the centre of defence. September saw Richard opening his goalscoring account for the Saprtans in a 3-0 victroy over Hyde, and he also assisted in the vital equaliser at Whitby in the FA Cup. Well done Richard!
GARETH WILLIAMS – AUGUST 2008 Gareth has been handed the captaincy of the Spartans to start the 2008/09 campaign and has led by example with an impressive first month. “Cheeks” also leads the way in the goalscoring charts with 4 goals, all from long range free kicks. Well done Cheeks!
