19 Jim Farrar

Squad No: 19
Name: Jim Farrar
Age: 31
Signed: 1988
Apps: More than you can imagine
Goals: A lot

 


Spritely 20 Year Old Jim Farrar was present when now Player-Manager Jono Way made his Scoring 1st Team Debut at the age of 16 in 1993.

Jim had signed for the club at the same age in 1988 and has been a Hampsthwaite player ever-since.

One of the most clinical goal scorers the club has ever seen, Young goal getter Farrar's Hampsthwaite career has been marred with injury, including an unprecidented double cruciate knee ligament injury!

Farrar's knees have gone under the knife more times than a slice of toast but he has emerged from his injury and one-time managerial nightmare a bigger person in every sense of the word!

Famously won a season long shoot out with goal scoring rival Jono Way in 1996 when he pipped Way to the club's top goal scorer in the dying minutes of the 95-96 Season when he notched his 34th league goal to surpass Way's 33rd!

Stepped down from management to once again pursue an active playing career, Farrar has formed an early season partnership with Okopskyj in the middle of United's defence and more recently made a goal scoring return as Way & Farrar relived old times by turning back the clock and standing in for the missing Brennan-Hobbs Strike force.

Adds Drive, Grit and Determination to the team and most importantly of all, absolutely essential for the organisation of end-of-season trips to Scarborough!!
