Andy Oakes was our 4th keeper of 2004-2005. The impossible task of replacing the great Jim Walker took it's toll on Mark Paston, Richard McKinney, Joe Murphy and the young Dean Coleman. 

Oakes arrived in March  2005 and made the goalkeeping spot his own.  His arrival coincided with a mean defensive streak that spread through the team and saw us cruise up the table to a safe mid-table spot. 


Andy Oakes is tall, gangly but agile keeper who gives us a real presence in the penalty box. Oakes is a good kicker of the ball and has long throw which always comes in handy for springing a counter attack.
