Quoted from A.l.f.
I understand what people are saying but it has to be Macca unless MJ is bringing in a late major signing.
He's been a loyal and reliable servant and engages with the fans.  He then gets the players together and sorts out his generals around the side.  The best teams have many leaders - just look at the England World Cup winning Cricket side!


I'm not a fan of having goalies as captains.(Not that I'm saying McKeown doesn't deserve to be captain). For me a captain should be out there in the field encourging his players during the game. It's pretty hard to do that if you're stuck back in goal.

Traditionally has been a central defender or a midfielder and I'd be happy with that once again. Not sure which one I'd pick, however!

Against Clee Clifton and Wright were captains.

Who were the captains at Grantham and Boston? I suppose we will have more of an idea of MJ's captaincy thinking on Saturday.

Hanson seems captain-like, but usually a defender or midfielder is ideal.

I love Macca and he is a great figurehead for the club with the fans and the community, but the primary purpose of the captain is to influence things on the pitch and I'm not sure he really does that.

We had too many situations last year where we were have been out-smarted by the opposition and not handled officials very well and I think someone like Hessenthaler or Hanson in their ear and trying to shift those small percentages in our favour would be helpful.

For me the captain has to be someone who plays almost every game.

Hanson may need managing when we get fixture congestion mid season so for me the candidates are:

McKeown
Hendrie
Hessenthaler

It would be great if the armband was given to Clifton in the tournament we don't speak about.

Not saying he should be captain, but talking about leaders I think Matt Green can lead from the top as well, a lot of experience to draw from.

I don't think it matters who's captain tbh, a leader will always lead with or without the armband in my opinion. Just because someone hasn't got the captains armband dosent mean they won't lead by example and give out instructions to players.


Gtfc all the way

I think a good captain can make a big difference (Groves, Disley for example).  Personally I think it needs to be an outfield player, ideally a midfielder and someone who's likely to start every game apart from injuries/suspensions.  I'd got for Hess as first choice without a doubt.  Make him team captain and Macca club captain.
