TEAM INFORMATION
Andre Boucaud
Position: Midfield - squad no: 17
Born Enfield. Previous clubs: Tottenham (youth), Reading, Aldershot, Walsall (loan), Peterborough United. A Morell Maison signing in May 2006 from the Posh. A stylish player with a deft touch, came on leaps and bounds during his first season at the club, showing some real class. Andre scored his first goal for the Poppies in the 3-3 draw against Lancaster City at Rockingham Road. Although Andre had undoubted ability, he only showed glimpses of his talent. Leaving the club in June 2007, he joined Wycombe Wanderers in August. After an unsuccessful time with Wanderers, Andre made a surprise return to the Poppies in August 2008 and what a difference in the player. He has put in some brilliant performances under Mark Cooper, showing the Kettering faithful the pure talent he is.
Damian Spencer
Position: Forward- squad no: 9
A towering no-nonsense centre-forward who has plenty of league experience with Bristol City, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town and Brentford. A Mark Cooper signing in July 2009. Damian scored his first goal for the Poppies in the 2-1 away win at Wrexham. Currently on loan at Aldershot Town.
Danny Thomas
Position: Forward - squad no: 20
The former Leicester City, AFC Bournmouth, Boston United, Shrewsbury Town and Macclesfield Town forward signed for the Poppies after impressing Mark Cooper during pre-season. A tricky pacey forward who can turn a game on his day. Danny scored his first goal for the club in the 2-1 home defeat against AFC Wimbledon, and he added his second goal and the Poppies first in the 4-0 win against Gateshead.
Darren Wrack
Position: Midfield -squad no: 4
Darren an experienced midfielder became Mark Cooper's third signing of the 2008-09 campaign. A legend at Walsall, he also played for Derby County, Grimsby Town and Shrewsbury, before making over 300 games for the Sadlers.
Greg Taylor
Position: Defence - squad no: 12
A Mark Cooper signing from neighbours Northampton Town. Great things are expected of Greg who has already shown his ability during pre-season.

Finally getting his chance he was outstanding in the games against Barrow and Ebbsfleet United, so much so the youngster won the Man-of-the-Match award against the Fleet as the Poppies ran out 3-0 winners.
Ian Roper
Position: Defence - squad no: 5
The former Walsall and Luton Town powerhouse joined the Poppies squad in July 2009 from the Hatters. His invaluable experience as a no-nonsense centre-back will inspire all around him.

Ian's performances have been so impressive he has become the team captain, enhancing his stature within the club, a masterstroke signing by Mark Cooper.
James Jennings
Position: Defence - squad no: 3
The young full of pace defender joined the club from Macclesfield Town. James also had a spell on loan at Blue Square Premier side Altrincham during the 2008-09 season. One to watch out for.
Jean-Paul Marna
Position: Forward - squad no: 10
The former Paris St Germain, Berkhamstead Town and current French National futsal striker, created quite an impession during his first season at Rockingham Road. Fleet of foot, with blistering pace JP has the ability to mesmerize opposing defences at will.

Jean-Paul was on fire during the 2007-08 season putting in some amazing performances with his all round soccer skills show. The Frenchman scored a brilliant hat-trick (one with his head) against Hinckley United, earning him 13 goals in all competitions. 2008-09 was JP's first in the Blue Square Premier, overall he made 52 appearances out of a possible 61, scoring 11 goals in the top flight of non-league football.
John Dempster
Position: Defence - squad no: 6
Kettering born John originally joined the Poppies on loan from Oxford United. He became an instant hit with the home fans, coming off the subs bench to win the Man-of-the-Match award against table toppers Droylsden on his debut. After his loan period expired the centre half returned to United, but a day later signed on a permanent basis for the Poppies and ended the 06-07 season with five goals.

John became the captain during the 2007-08 season, leading by example he had a brilliant season as the side won the Blue Square North at a canter and John's performances earned him the 'Supporters Player of the Year', the 'Players Player of the Season' and the 'Vice President's Player of the Year', such was his dominance in the centre of defence.
Lee Harper
Position: Manager / Goalkeeper - squad no: 1
Lee was appointed player/manager of the club in November, in succession to Mark Cooper, the man that brought him to Kettering.

An experienced goalkeeper having had spells at Sittingbourne, Arsenal, QPR, Walsall, Northampton Town and MK Dons. Lee, joined the Poppies two games into the Blue Square North season, making his debut in the 6-0 victory over Vauxhall Motors at Rockingham Road.

Lee throughout the season was a 'rock', something the Poppies had been missing between the sticks for quite a few seasons, consistent, reliable and more importantly ever-present. With Lee behind them the defensive unit proved to be the best in the Blue Square North and a season later also the Blue Square Premier. Lee was voted the Club's Player of the Season for 2008-09.

Lee is in his third season at the Poppies and is currently at number 9 in the all time goalkeeping appearances list.

Patrick Noubissie
Position: Midfield - squad no: 15
