A number of notable former association footballers took part in the time the team was active, including former Arsenal and Manchester United forward, Frank Stapleton, and former Blackburn Rovers manager, Owen Coyle who in 2015 recalled his participation with fondness whilst commenting on the difficulty of adapting to a sand surface having played his career on grass.
