Over the past week or so fans have been busily voting for their team of the decade which we have pleasure in being able to reveal today.
In goal is Tom Lovelock, who played a huge role in our survival in 2016/7 and then our play-off season the following year with a series of key saves. Rarely making an error that led to a goal, Tom's performance at Dulwich in September 2017 will live long in the memory.
Chris Seeby and Ollie Sprague take the full-back berths. Chris was an attacking right-back with an eye for goal and joined the club in the summer of 2013. A serious knee injury kept him out for a year towards the end of 2014/5 and he scored from just inside his own half on his return against Billericay. Sadly, a further knee injury in the autumn of 2016 saw Chris retire from the game.
Ollie, meanwhile, joined the club in April 2014 and went on to make the left-back berth his own the following season, allowing Scott Cousins to concentrate on coaching. He quickly had league scouts watching him and was once called up as standby for England C before brief spells at Welling and Billiercay interrupted his Hendon career. Now at St Albans with Lee Allinson's Dad, Ian.
The centre back partnership is that which went so close to promotion in 2014/5, Elliott Brathwaite and Charlie Goode. Elliott originally joined the club in the summer of 2011 and sustained a serious knee injury on his debut that kept him out for more than a year. He made his first return in 2013 but again sustained another serious injury which kept him out until the end of the 2013/4 season. 2014/5 was the one injury free season Elliott was able to enjoy and when Charlie joined the club in the autumn of 2014, the two forged a terrific partnership at the heart of defence.
Unfortunately Elliott sustained further injuries on the first day of the 2015/6 season and then in late 2016 during his comeback - which finally saw him have to retire from the game.
Charlie was only with the club for six months during 2014/5 after he signed from AFC Hayes but it soon became apparent that Gary McCann had a gem on his hands. Good with the ball on the deck, unbeatable in the air and with an awareness rarely seen for a 19-year old, Charlie had league scouts watching him from early on. He picked up England C recognition in the summer of 2015 (only the second Hendon player to do so) before joining Scunthorpe United shortly afterwards. Charlie is now the skipper at League 2 side Northampton Town.
