Dan Illingworth joined the Sils in January 2017 initially on a dual registration with Brighouse Town. The move may have raised a few eyebrows at the time, but it signified the intent of both parties and Dan’s arrival certainly felt like a milestone. His professionalism and attitude helped raise standards across the board. Three years, over 100 appearances, a league title and various personal accolades later, the bond between player and club remains as strong as ever, here’s what he had to say on his fellow teammates……

Best mate – ICE bath 

Joker – Chris Wademan, he is always up to mischief that lad!

Teachers Pet – Clive Murgatroyd , loves a warm-up – brilliant at 2 good quality squats and setting up a bleep test prior to kick off. However, he doesn’t know the difference between opening and closing the gate (groin).

Hardest Worker – Joe Mitchell and Arley Barnes, unbelievable love child these lads are like Non-league Kante’s!

Most skilful – Khurram Shazad, the megnuts genius! Absolute game-changer when he pulls the strings.

Best dancer – Josh McKiernon, he loves a bit of gun fingers when Trilla drops.

Future Gaffer – Mark Everingham, calm, collected and professional attitude in everything he does. Top bloke!

Toughest – Myles Foley aka Incredible Hulk. Liam Hudson talks a good game but he couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

Worst dress sense – Laurence Sorhaindo, NASA hat say no more!!!
