Can Wes' nickname be Patches because of Dodgeball? Plus, he has the best birthday, the same as mine. I never really find sports people with the same birthday as me or close to it. The first two Blackpool players are the same and a day after. Awesome.

Just a coincidence that I picked Wes and Chubs first to profile - didn't even notice their birthdays were so close!

Wes scored the winning penalty against PKE this past weekend. Therefore, he gets the honor of being first.

Well Wes is a legend right now for his cheeky chipped penalty to beat PKE on Saturday so appropriate that he was the first picked!!

Plus "Rabs" now has his own chant - USA,USA,USA heh

And of course he was born in San Luis Obispo, California.....

Wow he was a busy lad all those loans!!!!!!!!! Huddersfield fans weren't happy when they let him come to Blackpool (on loan of course at first!) as they rated him as a keeper, but the management didn't and let him come to us (thankfully!).
