| GANDER Ian | "Goose" other nicknames but not appropriate for this publication. This player’s physique was awesome, and used every part of it, if not putting the ball in the net it would be the keeper.

| JOHNSTON Stephen | "Jock" The most versatile player to have played for Brookhouse, when fit which is rarely a good athlete. Joined his old Spartak friends at the house as a right winger. Fabulous strike rate considering played a number of games at the back. Played for Heybridge Res, Witham res, Hatfield peverel, Sandon Royals,.

| KING Darren | "Kinger/ Dazzler" If fit a perfect Midfielder, yet played mostly at the back, confident on the ball at times very cocky on the ball, full of funny quirks on a pitch. Probably left too soon and unable to show the club the potential he has, plays regularly on Saturdays for Margaretting Rovers. Great in the changing room and captain for two seasons. Did play for C& E and St John Payne for a while. Man Utd fan. |
| LUCKING James | Age 26, James joined Brookhouse after playing for Galleywood and Baddow Spartak, began as a full back, but in 1997 Mick Buckley recommended that he should give it a go as a striker.

Each season acquits himself admirably and I am sure will do so in the Premier Division. Still plays on pitch for Gt Baddow where he has played for a number of years. |
| SAVAGE Louis | The biggest Character ever to play for Brookhouse. Not a natural player but made up for it with his enthusiasm, passion and hard tackling.

Left the club after an altercation with the League. Supports Arsenal |

Previous clubs, Baddow Spartak, Margaretting Rovers, Broomfield, Writtle, Redstones, C & E, currently playing Saturday football at Sandon Royals. In his earlier days discipline was a concern, but his experiences in the Intermediate League have helped him become more balanced, with out loosing his strength. |
