"Spike in nets because of big game saves and he is a tremendous shot stopper.
Sean Hargan: Quick, strong and had springs in his boots. Loves a physical game. Could play anywhere on the pitch but I think he was at his best at the back for Park and Lisahally.
David Ogilby: Different class, great defender although most of his games for Lisahally were at forward. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of him in a Lisah' shirt....but not for a few years yet.
Libby Mullan: Super player, strong as a bull and knew were the net was. Moved to defence at Lisahally and stood out by a mile.
Chris Tracey: Was the Alan Hansen of Lisahally, played football when others about him may have hoofed the ball. Played football how it should be played.

Jai White: Quality player great attitude ability and could easily move up a level. Type of player every team would want.
Topher Whoriskey: Great touch, read the game but was also a tough tackling all round midfielder. Kept it simple and played the game on the deck. How he never played a number of games at senior level is beyond me.
Colin Moran: Lightning with quality, it's a pity he stopped playing so young because he was a tremendous talent. Lisah' haven't had a winger like him since.
Decky Brown: Quality player, classy and another who could have played at senior level.

Spencer Tracey: Natural goal scorer. First man I saw score a goal with a back heel out of no where....still think his son Lenny was better than him though!
Diesel Brown: Speed, and knew where the net was. In his prime there was no forward better in the D&D.

Subs
Mark Tracey: Just edged out for a starting berth, not much got passed Mark
Shaun Whoriskey: Another who just misses out, but is still playing. Lisahally through and through and doesn't lose much in the air. Must hold the record for Lisahally's most appearances.
Chris Gilloway: Physical player which every team needs, plus in my first Married Men v Single Men match at the age of 13 he emptied me and actually put me over the banking at the Strathfoyle Arena. Lesson Learned!
Rory Kirk: Like a wine he improved with age, die hard Lisahally player/manager/supporter and will be involved once again in the near future in some capacity."
