Hide Ad41 Paul Malone: 15 goals from centre-back and a commanding figure in the meanest defence in the league and yet Corby still claim they are glad he left them.
41 Dan Lawlor: Ex-Posh youngster. A midfielder who likes to get stuck in, even in training against teammates.
40 Lewis Hilliard: High-class, goal-scoring midfielder with experience of playing for bigger clubs at a better level. That class shone through at times.
40 Mark Jones: Played higher with Boston and Gainsborough and it showed. Leads the forward line with passion.
