Players of the Paddy Field

LOIC CHUDAY (France)
A pocket sized powerhouse, his strength and combativeness in midfield is combined with great vision and a fierce shot, earning him the title of Tiger League's player of the year last season.





PETER SCOTT (England)
Came over the green side from the E and C and is a key influence even when not playing in the heart of defence. The drill master before kick off, he bellows support and guidance whether fit to play of standing on the sidelines.

CYRIL (France)
A Paddy Field original who is happy to play anywhere that will be of use to the team. A dogged and determined defender, he has also taken on many of the duties of running the team.




JEROME (France)
Lightning speed and close ball control regularly created chances in previous years, but all too often they went begging. Not now, 12 goals in three games make him Guangzhou's most feared foreign striker.

MATT HORN (England)
Another Paddy Field original and a real veteran, the oldest regular in the team. Has done his time in goal during crises but now a steady influence at either left or right back. Most importantly, as a football journalist, he writes the match reports.
