12. Jamie MENAGH - Spent last season in the North West Counties with Runcorn Town.
14. Sean MILLER - Recently signed a new deal with Curzon Ashton.
15. Charlie JOYCE - Another who hung up his boots at an early age after leaving Alty.
16. Sam HEATHCOTE - Now with Widnes

I know it's a less than illustrious line up, but to think the likes of Patterson, Joyce, Dawber etc decided to retire in their early/mid twenties shortly after is pretty strange. I know they weren't good enough for Alty, but they'd all been on the books of some big clubs and tipped for great things. I wonder if they were all just wildly overrated or if we ruined football for them?
