JOHN BLACKWELL b. 15/9/47 General Manager
Born: Kirton |
|
| John Blackwell has been involved with the club for many years, helping with the coaching in the seventies, as Club Secretary from 1978 onwards and as General Manager since 1998. He has even been on the substitute's bench three time for the Pilgrims. He was a member of the Vauxhall Conference Management Committee for nine years and the Unibond League Management Commitee for five years. His biggest disappointment is that he was not good enough to play football at a top level. The match he most remembers is the FA Trophy semi-final against Altrincham at York Street back in 1985. In his leisure time he enjoys watching sport on TV, reading the Saturday evening football papers and being with his family. | |
 |
STEVE EVANS b. 30/10/62 Manager
Born: Glasgow Appointed manager in October 98, following the resignation of Greg Fee. Previously manager of Dr. Martens Midland Division side Stamford AFC, where he enjoyed huge success, bringing them the United Counties League Title in both 96/7 and 97/8 and promotion to the Dr. Martens League. |
|
Hailing from Scotland, he began his playing career with Bolton Wanderers,
but he soon moved back north of the border to play for Clyde, Ayr United
and then St. Johnstone. He was forced to give up playing football at the age
of twenty eight, by a cruciate knee-ligament injury. His dramatic impact on
United's fortunes in transforming them from relegation candidates to title
challengers and ultimately the runners-up spot in his first season, then the
league title in his second season, has made him a cult hero with the fans on
the terraces.
The players that Steve most admires are Kenny Dalglish and Roy Keane. His favourite grounds are Celtic Park and Sheepy Road, Atherstone. His least favourite grounds are Ibrox and the South Kesteven Sports Stadium, Grantham. The advice that he would give to a youngster who wants to make a career in football is to work hard and always listen. He plays golf in his spare time. | |
|
TREVOR QUOW b. 28/9/61 Defender and Assistant Manager
Born: Peterborough A defender brought to the club by Steve Evans to become assistant manager following Chris Cook's retirement. Formerly with Peterborough United, Gillingham and Northampton Town, playing over 350 League games and scoring 22 goals. He also gained four England Youth International caps. |
 |
| Had a spell in Hong Kong before returning to England in 1996 to join up with Steve Evans at Stamford, where he played in the club's championship winning sides. The biggest influences on his career have been the managers and coaches he has worked with. These include Peter Morris, John Gorman, Keith Peacock and Terry Venables. His favourite grounds are Peterborough's London Road Ground, White Hart Lane and Villa Park. The players he most admires are Pele, Bryan Robson, Glenn Hoddle and Mick Gynn. His most memorable games are his Football League debut for Peterborough United, his England Youth debut, and a win against Sunderland when playing for Gillingham in the Third Division Promotion Playoff semi-final in 1987. One of his biggest disappointments was losing to Swindon in the 1987 Promotion Playoff Final, in a replay after the first two games had finished level on aggregate. Other disappointments include breaking his legs three times and other assorted injuries. He hopes to become a full-time manager / coach one day. He likes watching basketball, cricket, rugby and kung fu, and in his spare time also plays cricket. | |
 |
PETER JELLETT b. 9/10/55 Club Physiotherapist
Born: Farnham, Surrey |
| Previously with Grimsby Town, Peter returned to being a football physio with Boston United in 1997, after a period away from the game. He treats the players for any injuries they may have, and advises on home exercise and medication. Treatments include electrical therapy, ultrasound, use of the interferential machine and muscle rubs. He keeps himself fit, as on match days he likes to be able to get to an injured player as fast as he can. He also runs his own chartered physiotherapy practice from his home in Louth. | |
|
PAUL BASTOCK b. 19/5/70 Goalkeeper
Born: Leamington Spa Paul is one of the most highly regarded goalkeepers in non-league football and is now in his ninth season with the club after joining United from Kettering Town in 92-3. |
 |
|
As he used to live a few miles down the road from Birmingham it is no
surprise that he supports Birmingham City. Paul believes that you should
support your local team. "Bazza" enjoyed his schooldays although he came away
with no qualifications, as he spent most of his final year training with
Coventry City. Paul is one of the few United players to have settled locally, working as a care assistant at Willoughby Grange Nursing Home and living in the town with wife Ann (a Bostonian), and children Laura and Callum. He said "becoming a father has changed me because I have grown up and steadied down and it has taught me a lot about myself." Away from football his main priority is his family but he also likes to play golf and snooker. One of the sporting events outside football Paul would like to go and see is the Ryder Cup. It is not surprising that when he was younger he admired Peter Shilton and Neville Southall and nowadays one of his favourite players is Chris Woods, all great international goalkeepers in their time. During the earlier part of his career Paul spent six months playing football in Malaysia, which he enjoyed considerably. He said it was a fantastic experience, but the standard was only about Vauxhall Conference level. Paul's advice to any youngsters who want to make a career in football is to get an education and prepare for the high points when they come because you can suffer a lot more low points. After "Bazza" has finished playing football he would like to coach boys football teams. He says that an advantage of being a footballer is that you become a bit of a personality and you get a lot of free time, but a disadvantage is that you never get to celebrate at Christmas and the New Year. Paul does have a superstition, which is that he does everything three times, for example if the ball is coming towards him in a game he will touch his gloves three times. When asked what he thought about the Boston fans he said: "The majority are critical, but the youth element of the crowd are the supportive ones. They all pay their money so they are entitled to have their say." Paul also said he would like to hear the fans get behind the team more. He would like to be remembered as a steady goalkeeper who was always committed to the team. This season is his testimonial season. | |

|
|
| Young keeper signed from United Counties League side Yaxley as goalkeeping cover following Kevin Martin's departure. | ||
|
LEE CREW b. 4/9/80 Goalkeeper
Born: Louth |
|
| Lee's greatest achievement to date has been his selection for England Schoolboy Trials. His most memorable match was playing for the Grimsby Town Youth Team against Arsenal. His biggest disappointment has been not being able to prove himself at professional level due to prolonged knee injuries. The players he most admires are Peter Schmeichel and David Seaman. In his spare time he likes playing tennis and basketball and having a laugh with his mates. He has two superstitions. He always puts his right glove on before his left glove and he has also started wearing a very dodgy psychdelic shirt underneath his goalkeeping jersey. He has trained with former England international keeper Chris Woods, and cleaned his boots! He has passed 7 GCSEs and also gained his FA Preliminary Coaching Badge. | |
 |
RICHARD LUCAS b. 22/9/70 Defender
Born: Sheffield |
| A left sided defender / midfielder, Richard was signed up from Halifax Town in the close season. Since starting out as a trainee with Sheffield United, he has made over 200 League appearances, for a variety of clubs, scoring 23 goals. | |
|

|
ANDY LODGE b. 17/5/78 Defender
Born: Peterborough Signed in January 2000 from Stamford AFC. The player he most admires is Ryan Giggs. Away from football he likes playing snooker and pool and watching boxing. |
|
JOBY GOWSHALL b. 7/8/75 Defender
Born: Louth, Lincs
|
 |
|
One of the local younger, players who has managed to secure a regular first
team place, is Joby Gowshall who joined us from Lincoln City. Joby said that
he left Lincoln because he didn't enjoy his time there, and he wasn't
guaranteed a place in the first team. He is enjoying his time with United
because he has become regular in the starting eleven. At school, he enjoyed sport and thinks that he did "alright" as he came away with five GCSE qualifications. Joby's favourite football team is Leeds United, who he has supported since he was a boy. His footballing hero is Diego Maradona. Away from football he likes to socialise and eat out. After finishing playing football Joby would like to establish a career in the fire service. The sporting event Joby would like to go and see is the World Cup. His advice to a youngster wanting to make a career in football is :- "Work hard, believe in yourself and enjoy it." Joby says that an advantage of playing football is winning games, but a disadvantage is that you can't celebrate Christmas or New Year as others who have less commitments are able to. Talking of commitments, you'd be hard - pressed to find any player in any team, with a more dedicated attitude to playing attractive, successful football. And United fans can count their blessings that they are currently benefiting from this exciting player. | |
|
LEN CURTIS b. 2/1/73 Defender
Born: Dublin, Republic of Ireland. "Work very, very hard and be dedicated", is Len Curtis' advice to someone who wants to pursue a career in football. This attitude has clearly been seen in his own very impressive performances for Boston United since he joined us in November 97.
|
|
Len started his career with Leeds United (where he became friends with
ex-United Manager Mel Sterland), and after a spell at Rotherham, Len returned
to the Republic of Ireland to play for Premier Division side Shamrock Rovers.
He returned to England and moved to Sheffield, so he could see his girlfriend
more often. As he said "We were commuting between Sheffield and Dublin which
wasn't easy, I like it here (in England) and have become very settled". After
spending some time playing at Stalybridge, Len contacted Greg Fee who was then
the United Manager, who invited him to come and play for us. Since his arrival
at the club he has found he likes the club a great deal, and considers the
players are well looked after. Len says that an advantage of being a footballer is that you get great enjoyment out of playing the game. But a disadvantage he says is :-"that playing at Non-League level it is hard to have a good job, because you often have to have afternoons off to be able to travel to midweek away fixtures". Away from football he likes to play golf and he has a handicap of nine. As he likes to play golf Len would like to play in the U.S. Masters. He would also like to play Gaelic Football in an all Ireland Final in Dublin. His favourite football team is Arsenal whom he first watched in 1979 when they reached the F.A. Cup Final, his Dad is also a supporter of "The Gunners". Len had a chance as a youngster to sign YTS forms with the Highbury outfit, as well as Queens Park Rangers. However his father told him not to sign, but to carry on with his education and take his A-Levels to give him something to fall back on if he didn't make it as a footballer. These were wise words from Mr. Curtis Senior as Len added three A-Level passes in English, French and Accountancy to his total of nine GCSE passes. After he has finished playing football Len would like to remain associated with the game in an off the field capacity. | |
|
ROSS WEATHERSTONE b. 16/5/81 Defender

 |
ANDREW STANHOPE b. 2/1/76 Midfield

It ended in a 3-3 draw and Peter scored the second Bradford goal with a stunning 25 yard volley. The biggest influence on his career has been Geoff Lee, the Bradford City youth team coach. The footballers he has most admired are Stuart McCall (Bradford City) and Mick Halsall (Peterborough United). His only current superstition is that he goes out behind Mick Nuttell, both at the start of the game and at half-time and pats him on the back and wishes him well. In his spare time he likes playing golf, watching horse racing and most of all, spending time with his daughter Hope. When he has finished playing he hopes to stay in the game, either as a coach or a manager, he is currently taking his UEFA B. Badge. | |

He has also scored nine goals in five games when playing for the Lincolnshire FA Under 18 side. Anthony says that it is all down to Chris Cook that he is at Boston United. He is also pleased that Steve Evans is taking an interest in the young players at the club, giving them an opportunity to succeed. He is being sponsored by United director Roy Hackford, for which Anthony is very thankful. His most memorable match to date was when he played for the Nottingham Forest youth team in a match against Liverpool, which Forest won 2-1 with Anthony scoring one of the goals. The player he admires most is David Ginola. Outside of football, the sporting event he would most like to see is a Formula One Grand Prix. | |
 |
KEN CHARLERY b. 28/11/64 Forward
Born: Stepney |
|

Born: Boston
|
|
Born in Boston and a former pupil at Boston Grammar School where he obtained

close season. He first played for Boston in 91/2 when he became the Pilgrims
record signing following a £14,000 move from Wycombe Wanderers.

scorer in 1993/4 with 39 goals.
His most memorable match was when he scored a hat-trick for Wycombe Wanderers in a 4-2 win against Altrincham in the Conference in August 91. The players that Mick most admires are Kenny Dalglish and Paul Gascoigne. The greatest influence on his career was Martin O'Neill when he was Mick's manager at Wycombe Wanderers.

He scored seven goals in 25 appearances for the Diamonds. He also had a short loan spell with Hayes. | |
 |
LEE POWER b. 30/6/72 Forward RESIGNED
Born: Lewisham, London |
|
A much travelled striker, who never quite achieved his full potential after
a promising start to his career with Norwich City. As a teenager, he broke
into the Norwich first team and also made a number of appearances for the
Republic of Ireland Under-21 side where he was their young "player of the
year" in 1994. He played in the Norwich side which reached
the third round of the UEFA Cup in 93/4, where they were narrowly beaten by an
Inter Milan side containing the likes of Bergkamp, Schillaci, Zenga and Bergomi.
After scoring 10 goals in 44 League appearances for the Canaries he became
Bradford City's record signing for £200,000 in March 1994. Despite
scoring in his first two matches for the Bantams he could not maintain his
form and he left the Valley Parade Ground after one season
to join up with Peterborough United for £80,000. A move north of the
border to play for Hibernian for a transfer fee of £100,000 soon
followed, but he fell out of favour following a change of management and a
free transfer to Plymouth Argyle beckoned. A further free transfer to Halifax
Town followed, before he was snapped up for £15,000 by the Pilgrims in
November 99 to become their record signing. In total he has made 180 League
appearances and scored 32 goals in the English and Scottish Leagues. He
scored on his debut for the Pilgrims.
Lee claims that one of the advantages of being a footballer is that you become super fit and gain a six pack, but the downside of this is the diet of pasta and water. The sporting event that he would most like to see is Steve Evans and David Rennie mud wrestling. One of his most memorable achievements was scoring from 30 yards out past Manchester United's Peter Schmeichel in his first season at Norwich. |
|
|
NEIL TIMBY Utility MOVED TO WYBERTON One of the first products of United's successful reserve side. Neil played a few games for the first team in 96/7 and showed his versatility by acquitting himself very well in a variety of positions when called upon to do so. He moved on to play for Boston Town for a couple of seasons before moving back to the Pilgrims at the start of last season. He is also a three handicap golfer and is the current holder of the club championship at Boston Golf Club. |
|
 |
MIQUEL DE SOUZA b. 11/2/70 Forward TRANSFERRED TO FARNBOROUGH TOWN
Born: Newham |
| A much travelled striker with over 150 League appearances to his name. Miquel was snapped up during the close season from Rushden & Diamonds after spearheading their title challenge last season. He is intelligent and has frightening pace. | |
|
KENNY CRAMMAN b. 17/8/69 Midfield RELEASED - NOW AT GATESHEAD
Born: Gateshead |
 |
| An England semi-professional international with three caps. | |
|
DAVID RENNIE b. 29/8/64 Defender TRANSFERRED TO BURTON ALBION
Born: Edinburgh An experienced defender, signed up after being released by Peterborough United at the start of last season. Has made over 400 League appearances, scoring 24 goals. |
|
David is a great fan of Roy of the Rovers. He thinks that the most memorable
match ever played was between Melchester Rovers and Everpool Town, where Roy
Race played a blinder. David suspects that Steve Evans and Trevor Quow always
read Roy of the Rovers before deciding the team's tactics.
The biggest influence on his career was Dave Richardson, the youth team manager at Leicester City when he played for them. The players that he most admired are Kenny Dalglish and German international Franz Beckenbauer. David thinks that his greatest achievement is that he can still hear after the manager's team talks. His claim to fame is that he once saw Steve Evans buy a drink, but he thinks that Steve found the money though. His biggest disappointment was letting Steve Evans into his house, as he is still paying for all the drinks. The sporting event outside of football that he would most like to see is Steve Evans running a marathon. He is not superstitious, touch wood. | |
|
LEIGH TAYLOR b. 30/4/81 Utility TRANSFERRED TO HOLBEACH UNITED
Born: Boston Towards the end of the 1996-97 season, Boston United were chosen as one of a select band of clubs in the country to pioneer the unique "Football for Life" scheme. The scheme was run under the guidance of Bedford College and gave young footballers the chance to play football with a semi-professional club and also study for a Diploma in Sports Science. |
 |
|
Boston United attracted
youngsters from as far away as London, Ipswich, Barnsley and Melton Mowbray,
as well as quite a number of local lads. Most have already made an appearance
for the reserve team and one player who has made his first team debut
is teenager Leigh Taylor.
Leigh is a local lad who has rapidly graduated from Nortoft Boys and Wyberton Colts via the "Football for Life" scheme into United's reserve team side and finally made it into the first team in January 98, aged just sixteen. He has also represented the Lincs Under 15 team. He said that he was astounded when he found out he would be making his full first team debut in the match against Guiseley. But he did say that he was quite satisfied with his performance for the Pilgrims and that his Mum and Dad thought he played really well. Leigh would love to become a first team regular and this aspiration could well be realised if his impressive debut is followed by equally impressive repeat performances. When I asked Leigh how he got on with the first team players he said: "They made me very welcome, and I got on really well with them." Leigh's favourite football team is Liverpool, explaining he supports them because they play exciting football. It is probably no surprise then that his favourite footballer is Paul Ince because "he works very hard at his game." | |
