Interesting to note that the Stockton and Brackley goalkeepers came up for corners in the Non-League finals when they were losing and did absolutely nothing.

Lewis Wright joins them too. Both over rated and were very pedestrian in their time with us.

Most of us would play football for 10p if we were good enough to play at a decent level.
