WHITEPARISH F.C

First Team Manager Sean O'Donnell

O'Donnell has taken back his role as first team manager after clearing his name in the tapping up row over striker Elliott Wykes. Whiteparish  released him from his managerial contract at the start of the season. After mixed results by the former management team of Mundy and Barnes, the chairman felt it right to offer Mundy a title as Director of football thus clearing the way for O'Donnells return.

Assistant Manager Daniel Barnes 

Daniel is hoping to become one of the most successful managers in British football history. Following the sacking of Sean O'Donnell as manager of Whiteparish F.C, the Lions hierarchy moved quickly for his services. They got their man on 14th May 2009. Daniel came tantalisingly close to becoming manager when Stuart Dear resigned as head coach in 2006, Daniel likes playing the traditional English game of aggressive football, his playing career never really took off, many former stars were excited about this young right back after coming through the academy, but when the first team came calling at the age of sixteen the bright lights and glamour of Whiteparish made him lose his way often caught in late night brawls in the Parish Lantern. Daniel's last few years has been flooded with allegations of late night boozing with prostitutes. Many are hoping this new role within the club will help to settle the star down.

 First Team Coach/ Head Scout Tom Mundy

Mundy (middle) sat out most of the start of the season after damaging ankle ligaments with new club Laverstock. After this injury Mundy decided to use his footballing skills to good use helping  managers Tim Mundy and Daniel Barnes with a scouting and coaching role within the club. In the last playing year he just about exhausted all superlatives, but somehow failing to pick up an award at the end of season presentation. Mundy was a product of Farley's youth system that produced brother Tim Mundy and Whiteparish teammate David Stacey and Jonny Lamb. Signed as a largely unknown 11-year-old for £1.24m, the story goes that Stuart Dear was persuaded to sign him by his players on the car journey home from a pre-season friendly against South Newton that summer. In truth, the boss had long been aware of his ability. The urgency to sign him stemmed from interest from other top Salisbury clubs. This was a target Stuart simply couldn’t let slip through the net.
Mundy had to wait for his debut but when he got his chance wasted little time in showing off his sublime skills with a stunning 30-minute debut against The Reserves at The Memorial Ground in 2003. After 39 appearances and eight goals.

Reserve Team Manger Giles Alford

Giles Alford is the Parish's Reserve Team Manager, a role he assumed in the summer of 2008 after a year spent shadowing former incumbent Marcus Reynolds. Whiteparish are aiming to lift the league trophy for the first time ever and will start as favourites against a Enford whos  side recently finished second from bottom of the Premier Reserve League South. Alford's first season in charge of the Reserves has already proved a disaster, with the Englishman guiding his side to a bottom-place finish in the league. But with Barnes and Mundy sure to be making new signings this year for the first team there are sure to be a few players dropping down to play for Alfords reserve team next term. Alfords Playing career has been a great one being a permanent fixture in the reserve team for a number of years, starting his career as the spearhead of Whiteparish's attack, later dropping back to marshall the midfield. He was named captain in 2004 for Whiteparish.

Reserve Team Assistant Manager Kaivan Storr 

Storr struggled to settle in initally, finding himself behind Malcolm Noble and Rich Hamblin. However when both left the club, Hamblin through injury. Storr seized the opportunity and became the central cog in parish's reserve team and was made club captain when Giles Alford took over as manager. He was then sent home from an idoor 5-a side after a row with manager Marcus Reynolds after Reynolds subbed the sulky star. 'Psycho's' all-out commitment and rampaging runs through the middle of the park immediately endeared him to the Lantern End. Not only were the opposition's attackers afraid of him, but the full backs had to be wary, too! After a coming together with his own left back Males. Robert recieved ten stiches to a cut on his forehead as storr lost the plot with him and 'nutted him' right between the eyes. 

Club Secretary Geoff Dear

Born sometime in 1938, Geoff Dear is the son of Graham Dear, an ex-Parish player and manager who captained his team to victory in the Salisbury and District League Cup final in 1903, and went on to manage the Local side in the 40s, 80s and 90s Despite his father’s links to Whiteparish, as a youngster, Geoff was a fan of Hampshire team Sherfield English, home of his hero Graham Sharp. However, after showing promise in the left-wing position, he was able to secure a place in the Whiteparish youth programme (possibly through the influence of his father). He also possesses an extraordinary capacity for inspiring and organising his team mates and co-defenders. His command of the game is such that opponents find themselves playing the game at the pace Dear sets, which generally is very slow. Like his brother, Geoff is also ruthless if he thinks he's being cheated out of the game, once snapping a youngsters jaw after a coming together. When Geoff's playing career came to an end two years ago he was, and still is the record appearance holder with 2432 app. There have been rumours around the parish that the club have set plans to errect a statue of the club legend.

Chairman Stuart Dear 

He started his football career in 1980 with Whiteparish. He was part of the crazy gang team that won the Stonehenge cup in 2006, arguably the club's greatest achievement. He played over 500 games for the Parish, before briefly becoming player/coach.He became quickly infamous for his brutal "hard man" image, which frequently brought much criticism of his style of play. He was sent off 12 times in his career. Dear admitted to the media in May that his playing career maybe coming to an end taking up the posision of chairman. Another player who is set to go down in history being one of the finest players to have graced the red and white shirt.

Club Owner Sir John Stacey 

Sir John Stacey is the mutli-millionaire owner of Whiteparish Football Club and is said to have amassed a personal fortune of over £800m and is key financial contributor to the Conservative party. Sir John as he likes to be known around the club bought the club in 2007 after Graham Dear decided to cut his loses after a terrible season. He had already invested in the clubs infrastructure rather than in its playing staff. He has overseen the building of the new changing rooms at a personal cost of £25m, which along with numerous other projects he’s involved with in the Wiltshire area. It has been reported recently that Stacey is aiming to keep the club in his family. Stacey a lifelong fan of the parish has a close relationship with players and fans often spotted on the sidelines cheering his team on. But recently stacey has found it hard being a full time supporter, owner and chairman so decided to hand the running of the club over to Stuart Dear.

 Chief Executive Robert Harris

Under Harris the club ripped up their policy of cautious spending and tossed aside their rigid wage structure. The club spent big to bring in Sean O'Donnell, Daniel Burchmore and Nick Lumber in order to try and compete with the best in Salisbury. Harris is an astute businessman who made his name as chief executive of a brewery called Summer Lightning making them one of the biggest beer companies in the south of England, before leaving his post to become deputy chief executive of the Parish in 1999. He was part of the negotiations as Whiteparish secured huge deals with InStyle Tiling and Nike. But in the last few years Harris has hit the bottle, often telling people how he was owner of Whiteparish F.C, also that he was ' Lord of the Parish' and that he fathered every player to grace a Whiteparish shirt. He  ended up losing his plush apartment in Whiteparish, reports claimed harris was living in a caravan. But after support from the club he got back on his feet, running the club with Dear sorting players contracts out, he turned out to be one of the best cheif executives in the land.   

Stadium Manager Nick Evans 

Head Groundsman Richard Hamblin

Hamblin was one of Whiteparish's greatest ever players and would still be playing to this day if it wasn't for a freak knee injury two years ago. He was both a pacy and hard-tackling central defender, Famed for his goal celebration of the bunny hop Hamblin became a house hold name in Whiteparish with fans flocking to see the celebration. When his career ended Hamblin first took up guest apperances at local night clubs showing off his dance moves, after fulfilling his life long dream Richard then turned his head to groundskeeping. Thanks to Hamblin The Memorial Ground is now looking like a top class venu, the playing surface  looking like a real carpet.
