Geoff Street was a tall central defender and I believe that he made a total of 11 Northern Premier League appearances for Alty during that division's inaugural 1968/69 season.
He joined Alty from Southport and then moved on to Barrow for the 1969/70 season.
He was subsequently a member of Morecambe's 1974 FA Trophy winning team, in which he played alongside the former Macclesfield and Alty midfielder Dave Roberts as well as striker Tony Webber, who went on to sign for the Robins in December 1976.
Some classic 1970s hairstyles on the following photograph (Geoff Street is top left on the second row, standing next to a somewhat cantankerous-looking Dave Roberts. Tony Webber is the one directly behind the ball on the front row):
I don't know if it has already been said, but it was also a really crap, slippy, bobbly surface. He might not be good enough, but I don't think that's the game to judge him one way or the other.
I must say that starting Digie over Sutton is a bizarre decision IMHO.
2 well taken goals from us
Home draw!!
Not sure it counts as a first team competition nowadays.
The great days of a packed ground for a two legged final against Witton are long gone.
Missing XI: have the Chinese authorities been informed?
I believe Hartlepool have refused Stockports request to talk to Challinor. As he is under contract for another couple of years that puts the onus on him to maybe resign.
