For the might Valiants.

Dean Glover. Bought for 200k from Middlesbro (I think) he played for us until he retired, then eventually joined the back room staff. As cultured a defender as you would see in the third tier of football. A 'famous' Seth Bottomley description of him was..." so laid back that he often took a book with him onto the pitch, for when he got bored". He wasn't the quickest, best header or most violent, but his positional sense and ball playing ability was superb.

Neil Aspin. Did everything that Glover couldn't. Ate Steve Bull for breakfast. My hero.

Roy Sproson. Played for one club, 754 (I think) times. A part of the famous Port Vale "Steele Curtain" defence that set a record for least goals conceded in Div 3 North and part of the team robbed of being the first 3rd Div club to play in the FA Cup Final, when they lost to a dubious penalty in the semi final.

Makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
