He was probably a decent keeper - unfortunately he was about a foot too short! I seem to remember him having a nightmare game somewhere being unable to cope with one of the bigger Conference sides and was never seen again in an Alty shirt

One for those who are old enough to recall him playing for Alty during the 1995/96 season:

Think we had him in a loan under John King. Can be across as erm... A bit short for a keeper.

Was he in goal for the 7-0 debacle at Morecambe?

Yup.

Got chipped about 5 times.

Only other memory I have of him is wearing a rather colourful jersey at home

I remember the 0-7 at Morecambe well, great positioning but to short to reach.

A few seasons earlier Paul Collings had a mare too but we won 3-2

At one of those Morecambe away games in the nineties we had a massive fans‘ kickabout in the corner of the ground. Maybe we should include a mini 4-a-side pitch in our new fanzone
