Well he was a local lad (Oldham iirc) who came through the ranks at City during the very barren years. He loved and still loves City and is as Blue as any of us. He had spells at Wigan, Accrington Stanley, Morecambe, and Vauxhall Motors, and hung up his boots in the summer of 2008. On the surface, the club – apart from its unwavering support – has changed beyond all recognition from Edghill’s days to the present era. We all feel we can win promotion this year and that is exciting,'' he said.

I don't think you can take the football lifestyle for granted. The moment you start resting on your laurels then other people are going to overtake you. So even when times were good, we would just go on normal family holidays (I have a wife and two children) to Spain a lot.

It didn't quite work out that way completely but I suppose the fact that we are at home gives us more of a chance of progressing. It will be a bit of fun for us and I might be able to prove a point or two.
