There are plenty of instances where players winding down their careers had a spell at Morecambe.

Its the ones who did well after starting or progressing from Morecambe who are more rare.

As mentioned Alan Taylor went from here to West Ham and scored 2 goals in an FA Cup Final.

Ray Charnley played for England after he left Morecambe.

Maybe Tom Barkhuizen could do something similar.

He also scored twice in the semi-final. I don't think anyone else has done that.
