Who was the forward who was ex United - only played a couple of games for us in the late 80s - looked a class player but had to stop playing because of a back problem - same reason he had to retire from the full time game. Nicky Wood I think



That was, indeed, Nicky Wood.

He played two games (and scored one goal) for us during the 1989/90 season.

Interesting story on Alf Steward if Wikipedia is correct. Claimed to have played in the CSC final against Alty then for Alty in the same tie!!

I'm not too sure he's classed as a modern era player, but interesting nevertheless. Cheers.

Alty & United:


Scott Moffatt;

Garry Worrall (who I once tried, unsuccessfully, to mark in a game played in Timperley circa 1974!);

Peter Jones;

John Connaughton (followed Alex Stepney at Moss Lane: 1980 to 1982).

Clive Colbridge a left winger - not the most popular player of the time but I rated him

United/City aside does anyone remember who was playing for Cheltenham that day? (the day Nicky Wood scored)
