I thought the same, Coley was a legend with us for 6 seasons, but obviously winning the Unibond with Brig for Kenny Mayers while we were in the conference so I suppose that was a bigger deal for them then.
And the whole player thing runs from 1968 to the present day, arguably, we were a force in that division in season 1 in 68, then again between 85-87 with Joe Woj, then again 90 to promotion with Griff and JH so a lot of seasons where we were bumbling around in lower mid table or even further down, so can't see too many other Shrimps players making it in much higher?

Hope I'm wrong.

I believe Barrie Stimpson is in the Top 100.

I'd be surprised also not to see the likes of Kenny Gordon and Peter McDonnell in there too who played for us of course (KG in the 1985/86 season, PMcD from the latter stages of 1984/85 to the end of 1987/88) but both of course gave sterling service to Barrow AFC in the NPL winning the league title with them TWICE - in the 1983/84 season and then again in 1988/89.

That's because he was kept so busy! Didnt we score 14 goals in 2 games against him when he was at Fleetwood?
