Nathan Abbey Goalkeeper (04-05) Nathan Abbey joined Boston in July 2004 to provide cover for Paul Bastock. However his pre-season performances led to him ousting Boston's record breaker and taking over as the first choice keeper.

In the following season he became the first choice keeper for the Hatters. In 2001 he joined Chesterfield on a free transfer for one season, then he switched to Northampton Town. For the 2003/4 season he had spells with Stevenage Borough, Luton Town, Macclesfield Town, Ipswich Town and Burnley. His brother Zema also played briefly for the Pilgrims on a loan spell in August/September 2004.

He made his first-team debut for the Pilgrims in the Lincolnshire Senior Cup Final against former club Stamford - but it was not a happy debut as Boston were beaten 2-1. He made his Conference debut in April 2001 when he was brought on at the end of the first half in the match at Hednesford Town following the dismissal of Paul Bastock. He showed little sign of nerves and this time he finished on the winning side as Boston romped home 4-2. Later played for Lincoln United. Debut: 31st January 2001 vs Stamford AFC (H), Lincs Senior Cup. Born 9/4/1976 in Peterborough.

Helped with the maintenance of the York Street ground. Featured on BBC "Match of the Day" during the Pilgrims' televised FA Cup tie at home to Sheffield United in December 82.

Steve Evans Manager (98-02, 04-06) Appointed manager in October 98, following the resignation of Greg Fee. Previously manager of Dr. Martens Midland Division side Stamford AFC, where he enjoyed huge success, bringing them the United Counties League Title in both 96/7 and 97/8 and promotion to the Dr. Martens League. Hailing from Scotland, he began his playing career with Bolton Wanderers, but he soon moved back north of the border to play for Clyde, Ayr United and then St. Johnstone. He was forced to give up playing football at the age of twenty eight, by a cruciate knee-ligament injury. His dramatic impact on United's fortunes in transforming them from relegation candidates to title challengers and ultimately the runners-up spot in his first season, then the league title in his second season, made him a cult hero with the fans on the terraces. He then went on to take Boston United to the Conference title and subsequent promotion to the Football League. He resigned in September 2002 after being suspended by the club after charges were brought against him by the FA. He was subsequently banned from football for twenty months and fined £8000 by the FA after being found guilty of charges of contractual irregularities and of trying to bribe witnesses to mislead and hinder the FA inquiry. He was reappointed as Boston manager following the takeover of the club by new owner Jon Sotnick in February 2004. Born 30/10/1962 in Glasgow.

Paul Gascoigne Midfield (04) In a fanfare of publicity, Paul Gascoigne became the fifth former full England international to sign up for Boston United when he joined the club in a player-coach role at the end of July 2004. Throughout his career Gascoigne's brilliance on the pitch has been overshadowed by his loutish behaviour off it. In his recent biography, "Gazza: My Story", Gascoigne confessed to mental health problems, bouts of alcoholism, beating up his wife in a drunken rage and a six week cocaine binge as he tried to kill himself after realising that his football career was dead. He made his League debut for Newcastle in 1985, before moving on to Spurs in 1988 in a £2 million deal. He joined Italian side Lazio in 1992 and later played for Rangers, Middlesbrough, Everton, Burnley and briefly Chinese second division side Gansu Tianma. In October 2003 Gascoigne turned out for Wolverhampton Wanderers reserve side, but he failed to win a deal at the club. He is probably best remembered for his displays during England's World Cup campaign in 1990 in Italy, when England reached the semi-finals only to be beaten on penalties by West Germany. He also scored a spectacular goal at Wembley against Scotland in Euro 96. The goal was voted the greatest ever goal at Wembley. Before joining Boston he turned down offers to play for Weymouth and Rhyl. He left Boston to pursue his coaching ambitions after turning out just five times for the first team. Debut: 28th August 2004 vs Cheltenham Town (A), Coca Cola Football League Two. Born 27/5/1967 in Gateshead.

Lee Power Forward (99-00) A much travelled striker who joined the Pilgrims in November 1999 from Halifax Town. As a teenager he had played for the Norwich City first team and also made a number of appearances for the Republic of Ireland Under 21 side. After scoring 10 goals in 44 appearances for Norwich, he became Bradford City's record signing for £200,000 in March 1994. He left the Bantams after just one season to join up with Peterborough United. A move north of the border to play for Hibernian soon followed, but he fell out of favour following a change of management and a free transfer to Plymouth beckoned. A further free transfer to Halifax followed before he was snapped up by the Pilgrims. In total he made 180 League appearances and scored 32 goals in the English and Scottish Leagues. He scored on his debut for the Pilgrims. Born 30/6/1972 in Lewisham.

Freddy Tunstall Forward (36-46) Former Sheffield United and England winger. Made seven appearances for England between 1923 and 1925 and was England captain for matches against Canada and France. Scored the only goal in the 1925 FA Cup Final when Sheffield United beat Cardiff City at Wembley Stadium in front of 91,763 fans. He went to Sheffield United from Scunthorpe in 1922 for £1,000 and later from Sheffield United to Halifax Town. He is arguably the most famous player ever to pull on a United shirt. He became player manager before the war and then manager for two spells, in between which he was the trainer. His career with Boston lasted from 1936 until he retired as "trainer", aged 65 in 1962, before coming out of retirement to manage the club for a season whilst they played in the Boston & District League in 1964/5. He is Boston's longest serving manager - having been in charge for a total of almost 10 seasons over the years. He was revered in Sheffield so much so that "fetch Tunstall" was still the cry in the early sixties if a home player missed a penalty. His shot was so hard that legend has it that if he hit the old wooden crossbar on a Saturday afternoon at Bramall Lane (home of Sheffield United), the residents would claim they couldn't sleep on Saturday nights because the woodwork was still creaking! Born 28/5/1897 in Gravesend. Died 1971.

Ray Wilkins Forward (54-56) Centre forward signed from Derby County. Previously with Moira United. Scored a hat-trick on his debut for Boston in the Midland League against Lincoln City Reserves, a performance which the local newspaper described as follows. "Wilkins proved that he is a real capture. He is a cool and calculating player, who knows how and when to hold the ball. And he is without doubt the best player with his heading that the United has had for many years. When Wilkins heads the ball he knows where it is going. A two footed 90 minutes man, Wilkins should be in the first half-dozen top scorers in the Midland League this season." He finished that first season with a total of 31 goals from 54 appearances. He scored two goals in the FA Cup game at Derby County. He was leading scorer in 56/57 with 21 goals in 37 games. Was a physical education school teacher. In order to arrive at the match in time for kick-off for early evening games, he sometimes had to travel to Boston by plane from Derby where he worked. Went on to become a deputy headmaster. Later played for Wrexham, Oswestry Town, Macclesfield Town, Gresley Rovers, Wilmorton and Alvaston. Born 16/8/1928 in Creswell.
