For loyal service it would be difficult to beat the late Ivan Crossley, an honest cover defender if ever there was one, who knew he wasn't likely to command a regular place after the APL started but stayed on.

Micky brooke was a similar player to ivan crossley who could play left back or left wing......at the time we also had john davison though who could also play both positions!

surprising no local side came in for either of them at the time I guess but both fondly remembered stalwarts who contributed much to our 70s success...

I'd guess Damian comes in as a loyal honourable player in recent times.....can't remember too many players who have had a decent offer from other clubs and stayed?

Ivan the Dependable was an unsung hero of that era - unlucky with injuries and to be around when we had such a strong squad. He'd be a certain starter in today's team

Signing of back up keepers Saunders & Deacy reminded me of Richard Acton. In terms of loyalty I'm sure the arrangement suited both parties but don't remember him letting us down when called upon
