My favourite Alty footballer must be Jeff Johnson...
Played between 1976 - 1988 (though last couple years rarely played due to injury)... over 500Alty apps, scored 141goals...
Started as striker, then midfielder, before ending career in defence... was part of many memorably successful years...
Played in 3 Wembley FA Trophy Finals for Alty (winning two in 1978 & 86)... won two APL (now Conference National Lge) league titles in 1980 & 1981 - winning League & APL League Cup double in 1981... also represented England Semi Professional team in early 1980s winning 18 caps...
Favourite memory is equaliser v Ossie Ardilles Spurs side away at White Hart Lane in 1979 in FA Cup 3rd round which resulted in 1-1 draw (replay at Maine Road which Alty lost)...
Great player, from a great era of success - probably my favourite Alty player of all time that i have seen play (never saw Jackie Swindells play - before my time)...
More recently enjoyed briefly seeing Duncan Watmore in Alty shirt plus Damian Reeves (particularly in his early seasons)...
