Two small guys with big hearts. You'd not have tried it on with either of them !

Cant have a list like this without the great left back Tommy Banks not in it

Very true. I remember once when he was up against a young right winger, Tommy said in his broad Bolton accent "You try and go past me lad and you'll end up in't stand"

Another quote i once heard was "You try and get past me and Tho'll get gravel rash"
I was Alty mascot when he played and I once tried his cap on (When he wasnt there I hasten to had) and it was massive. He must have had a head the size of chuffing Bull  ;) :D

A couple more names from the 60's  Big John Higgins and Frankie Peters - the latter who I believe now resides in the Shrewsbury area.

Ian Horrigan.

A handy amatuer boxer as far as I had heard, certainly the scousers at the time thought so. Looked a stocky fella if crap footballer.

Apparently the Bishop Auckland players decided to get back at George Shepherd and it was Horrigan who put 4 or 5 of them out of action. (embellishment possible, we'll never know).

No slouch, I'll admit, but would only make the bench. Mind you, he'd get a few outings when others were suspended  :D
