Former Shrimps Thread

Danny Meadowcroft appointed player manager of NWCL side Barnton

[Posh]

Absolutely made up for Jim Harvey who takes Halifax Town to Wembley for the first time ever in their history for the FA Trophy Final after they beat Nantwich Town (where one Neil Sorvel is Assistant Manager) in a two legged Semi Final.

Who'll play Grimsby Town where Padraig Amond scored both goals to reach the final.

Jack Sampson on target yesterday for the Macc Lads v Grimsby Town - and Podge didn't score (might need a thread that one?)

Aaron Taylor scored on Saturday for Padiham away at Winsford United and on Monday away at Darwen.

Former Shrimp (1989-?) Ian Britton passed away today.

He made his name at Chelsea and also played at the Turf for Burnley.

Not heard that. Very sad.

Yes, 7 games in 1989/90 having been signed by Larry Milligan.

Saw him on Fishergate in Preston a few years ago looking a bit dishevelled.

He spotted my Morecambe jacket and we had a bit of a chat about those days he was with us.

Nice fella.
