| Marc Seager (Player/Manager) Marc joined Whitstable in the January of 2001, when Matt Toms brought him to the club as captain and assistant manager. Like Steve Marshall he was part of the 'Wembley' FA VASE winners Deal Town side, Marc is rightly proud of his achievements in football and is determined to bring that success to Whitstable Town. Seager says: "The chance to become manager has come earlier than I had planned, but to be given the chance to manage the club you have been captain of is fantastic. My brief to the players when I took over was that I wanted them to be as professional as possible, the football club is run in the correct way, we have a good set up behind the scenes and it is up to us, the players and my staff, to act in the most professional way we can. I firmly believe that I can bring success to Whitstable Town." Under Marc as manager, the club had it's best ever season in 2006-07. Whitstable were unbeaten from the opening day of the season until March the following year also winning the Kent Senior Trophy, the Kent League and with it, at last, promotion to the Ryman League for the first time in the the club's history. On 4th August 2007, Whitstable also won the Kent League Challenge shield against Thamesmead Town. |

Steve Marshall (Forward)
Steve made his debut for Whitstable in December 2003. He was part of the very successful Wembley Deal Vase winning side under Tommy Samson and along with Marc Seager set Kent football firmly on the Non League map. Steve joined Whitstable from Maidstone and is a very committed no-nonsense type of player. He is always a handful for the opposition, both his pace and first touches giving him that extra yard of space to score. His strike rate compares with the very best. Steve was and integral part of club's success in the season 2006-07.

|
| Marcus Perona (Midfield) - Club Captain:
Playing alongside Marc Seager as a central midfield pair, the young Spaniard has proved a revelation at Whitstable with his niggley tackling and simple yet effective distribution of the ball.
"When Marcus plays well, the team plays well", says Seager, "if I were the opposition he is the one player who I would not like to play against, he is always nipping at players, has this habit of winning the ball and always seems to use it well." A firm favourite with the supporters he often pops up on the edge of the area and scores a great goal, as he has proved since joining Whitstable in August 2004. Marcos was skipper during the clubs most sucessful season in their history. |

| Jackson Ohakam (Defender)

|
| Gary Sayer (Full Back)
Another who has progressed through Whitstable's youth policy. Gary made his first team debut in January 2004 and has been a regular in the side ever since. He has come back from a bad injury, which sidelined him for a few months but was soon pressing for his first team place. Gary has been held in high regard by all the managers at Whitstable and is rightly held up as an example of what a good youth policy can do when a player is brought through the teams from junior level, and into the senior squad. Gary has progressed through the ranks at Belmont Road and has amassed well over 100 appearances since his debut in 2004. Gary was part of club's success in the season 2006-07. |
|
| Rob Thomas (Defender) Rob is yet another product of WTFC youth set-up. Playing with Aaron Knight, Gary Sayer and Tom Parker since they were in their in their teens they know each others' game inside out and it shows with their understanding on the pitch. Rob is quick, tall and with a great burst of pace, which makes Rob a great defender to have at Town. His first game for the senior side was in August 2002, but for injuries, Rob would have easily passed the 50 games mark for Whitstable by now. Manager's player of the year 2006-07 Rob was part of club's success in the season 2006-07.

When he was younger he tended to get himself involved, picking up unnecessary bookings, but since he married and started a family the calming influence has made Andy a more complete player. He was part of club's successes in 2006-07.
