It didn’t come as too much of a shock to me , and probably the majority of Cheltenham fans , that Shane Duff is the new club captain . The obvious choice , someone who knows the club inside out and is the last main link now between the fans and the players.

Providing he can stay fit he will be a mainstay in the team and has been one of Cheltenham’s best defenders in recent years. He has very similar attributes to his brother Michael , comes from a good family and is a very level headed person with a maturity beyond his years.
