Seeing as my non-league directories were right in front of me, I had a sneaky look.

Assuming the league matches in 1986-7 were the first time we played them, the gentleman in question would be Paul Edwards.

Paul Edwards is indeed your man.

Nonsense, you only missed the answer by one game!

The scorer in the match you mentioned was Mike Farrelly.

Paul Edwards and David Constantine would fill the full-back berths admirably.
