| Michael Whittington - Forward |
 |
| Michael is a diminutive striker signed on work experience from local rivals Cheltenham Town in January 2006. |
| Making his debut at home to Bath City Michael spurned a couple of decent chances and generally struggled to make an impact against a tall and strong Romans defence, which was typical of this level of the pyramid. |
| However sometimes if a player is good enough then physical stature can be a side issue and Whitty went on to score a number of important goals that would pretty much ensure that City wiped out any fear of relegation and also send Tim Harris' men on a long unheard of unbeaten run. |
| He opened his account by firing in Paul Stonehouse's cross away at Merthyr before a brace at home to Grantham including a sublimely lobbed second which saw the Tigers romp to a 4-1 victory. Mike bagged another away at Hitchin with a very good run and shot to make it four goals in three games. |
| The goals continued to come with the only strike of the game in a vital six-pointer at Northwood and he followed that with two first half strikes the beat Yate, although the second was ruined by an uneccessary challenge by the Yate keeper Tony Court which saw him ruled out with a knee ligament injury for the remainder of the campaign. |
|
| If you're smart and you've pressed CTRL + A you'll be able to see what has been written here. It's not important, honestly. It bears no relation to this player and all it does is make the picture on the right (yes, that one) stay on the right and not encroach into the middle. Satisfied? Good. |
