Joe Maguire                                          "The Silver Fox"                                    1993/94

Anyone who knows about the local non league football scene will have heard of Joe Maguire and defenders who have come up against him will vouch the fact that he is deadly in front of goal, even approaching the age of 36.
Last season Maguire helped Sun Sports end their lengthy wait for the Herts Senior County League championship which had eluded them for 50 years, scoring 26 goals in the process.
Nicknamed "The Silver Fox" because of his distinguished greying hair and his goal scoring ability, Maguire has prowled around the penalty boxes for nearly 20 years since starting out at Selby in the South Midlands League.
Although he never quite made the step up to league level he got nearer than most.
"When I was 16 I had a trial with Queens Park Rangers but I was played out of position in midfield. Then a few years later I was picked to play in a friendly match for Brentford but that was cancelled."
Who knows what might have happened had Maguire gained a break at that early stage of his career.
"I would have loved to have found out how good I really was and to have played for a league side."
Maguire's style of play is not dissimilar to that of Gary Lineker and it may come as a surprise to find that "Gentleman Joe" has quite a lot more in common with England's finest goalscorer than it may seem.
"My strengths are my stamina, I've got good ball control and I hold the ball up well to play others into the game."
"I suppose the "Gentleman Joe" nickname comes from the fact that I try to get on well with everyone, I don't get involved with referees and I tend not to kick people."
"I know it may sound clichéd but if players rubbish the referees too much they will start to drop out and then the game will be in an awful mess," warns Maguire.
Despite his love of the game, Maguire admits he was considering retiring at the end of last season..
"Success for Sun Sports meant we had to play over 50 games last season and towards the end we were playing three times a week on bone hard pitches. After a while it starts to take it's toll on the joints and I was really fed up."
Joe has also toyed with the idea of management.
"I might take an FA coaching badge but I'd rather be an assistant then take the full responsibility of manager."
"Whatever happens football has been great fun and full of laughs. Life is never dull when there is football to be played."
