Didn't realise how many ex players have played/managed/assisted for both the Silkmen and the Shrimps

I remember the excitement when we brought Ian Monks in on loan! "All i want for christmas is to sign Ian Monks". What a player he was

Indeed he was, just another 41 on the list!

Monk was in Jim Harveys all time Shrimps 11 and what a team

Imagine my surprise when I moved to our new house in Padiham, E Lancs and when I spoke to one of the new neighbours over the fence I found it was Monkys dad. He watched us regularly at the time his lad was playing and knows the likes of Rod and other notables who were about at the time. As a young lad Monky played in the E Lancs league for Burnley Belverdere and no one, but no one, could match him for pace at that level. He is now a radio dispatcher at a taxi firm in Preston according to his dad.

Have I got my wires crossed or did Dave Roberts (player/manager of the trophy winning team in 75) not join us from Macc town?

Nice story, Phoenix, yes Dave Roberts won the trophy with Macc, then with us in 1974

Just 40 more

Tibor Szabo one of my favourite players,ex Macc

Correct!

Darren Lyons was another quality right winger. His best days were behind him but he had some class.

Tony Diagne?

Aye, forgot Diagne

Plying his trade in France now is Tony.
