Each year he is written off and each year he defies his critics. However, with more coaching duties, appearances are likely to be more sporadic.

Sunderland (From Redby - 6/97)
Profile:
The versatile Scotsman is about to start his fourth season in Town colours. Can do a job as a wing-back or in midfield. Likely to fill both roles at some stage over the campaign. |

Profile:
‘The Beast’ should add vital pace to the back four. Prone to the odd error but the plusses far outweight the odd minus.

Shirt No:

Weight:
89 kg (14st 0lbs)

Position:

Excellent first season between the sticks for Town. Commands his area with authority. A vital figure again this year. |

 Born:
20/03/1982
Height:
188 cm (6ft 2')
Weight:
74 kg (11st 9lbs)
Shirt No:
16
Position:
Forward
Previous Clubs:
Barnsley, Shrewsbury
Profile:
Encouraging displays and a particularly memorable derby day goal last season. More pressure on him to find the net regularly this year as he has stepped up in the strikers’ pecking order. Needs to establish a good partnership with Parkin. |
Sam Parkin
 Born:
14/03/1981
Height:
188 cm (6ft 2')
Weight:
83 kg (13st 1lbs)
Shirt No:

Position:
Forward

Profile:
The scoring burden will fall heavily on Super Sammy’s shoulders this year. He is confident of hitting the 20-mark again. Hopefully his exploits will continue to be ignored by the bigger clubs.

Sammy Igoe

Height:
170 cm (5ft 7')
Weight:
64 kg (10st 1lbs)
Shirt No:
7
Position:
Midfielder
Previous Clubs:
Portsmouth, Reading, Luton
Profile:
The ‘Showman’ is a handful for any defence. Loves running at people but tends to get frustrated if stuck out wide for long periods. Not too popular in Blackpool for some reason. |
Sean O Hanlon

02/01/1983
Height:
182 cm (6ft 0')
Weight:
76 kg (11st 13lbs)
Shirt No:

Profile:
Another quality signing by Andy King. Looked impressive during an initial loan stint and was outstanding during the play-offs. Looks certain to start the campaign. Strong, aggressive and quick. |

Weight:
71 kg (11st 2lbs)
Shirt No:

Position:
Midfielder

Profile:
The Rolls Royce of the midfield when on song. Glides across the pitch, picks out passes with great vision and not afraid to get stuck in. More goals required. |
