Everyone remembers the famous Arsenal back four partnership of Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Nigel Winterburn and Lee Dixon.

Station Cavaliers, who play in Sussex Sunday League Junior Division Two, have their own big and mean foursome - and they are more experienced than their illustrious counterparts.

Cavaliers have conceded only nine goals this season and kept four clean sheets with a veteran back four that has an average age of 38.

Barry Kelly, 33, is the Tony Adams with his strength and height at the heart of Cavaliers' defence.

He is partnered by Des McDonald, 39, who is the Martin Keown of the team with his last-ditch tackles and calmness on the ball.

Matt Wood, 42, is the Lee Dixon on the right, while Ian Hickley-Smith, 39, is the Nigel Winterburn (now at West Ham) on the left.

Rob Semark is manager and adds organisation to the team with his tactics. Rob used to be on Cardiff City's books and is a friend of Albion's Nathan Jones.

Barry, who doubles up his Adams role with that of club secretary, said: "We're second in our division and only lost to leaders Fishersgate Flyers after a party the night before the match.

"This is our second season at Cavaliers, although most of the team have played together at other clubs -notably Wagon and Horses.

"We started assembling a strong team last Christmas and have retained it for this season.

"Our strength is in defence because the four of us are all experienced. We know what to do. The boys are good strong tacklers, good in the air, comfortable on the ball and can pass it."

Since Rob took over, the side have not looked back. Before they were a disorganised ramshackled lot, but his game plans and team talks are conducted in a professional manner and that looks set to win them promotion.

Barry said: "We used to simply turn up and the boss would say go out there and do what you want.

"But Rob's very thorough and he knows what he's talking about as he's played the game at a professional club."
