Question from the Archives

Does anyone know anything about a Steve Cropper that played for us, possibly Johnny Kings last season and the following one?

Any help much appreciated.

Mike,

That name isn't ringing any bells for me as regards the annals of former Altrincham FC players.

The only Steve Cropper that I've heard of is the esteemed guitarist in Booker T. & The M.G.s.

One of my friends did work with Michael Twiss after his career with us, and the latter was quite proud of his spell at Moss Lane  and would go on about some wonder goal he scored.

On the other hand , I did know someone who worked with John Rogers and assumed that the stories of his goalscoring exploits and successes were all lies and nonsense. No, they were all true, I could tell him.

Mick Moore was a striker who I think came through the reserves. I don't think he played too many games.

There were two Mick or Mike Moores who played for us. You are thinking of one who played as a young player around 1996-97, but Mick (this is confusing) is thinking of the one who played for us in the seventies and has his own Wikipedia entry.

Are you sure Michael Twiss didn't say he wondered if he'd scored a goal for Alty?

The one whose missed penalty against Scarborough in extra time of the Trophy replay at Rotherham arguably cost us a trip to Wembley.

Twissy. was more of an authority on the pies than scoring goals ☹️

Mickey Moore was signed by Les Rigby and was a more than decent forward but never really produced the form expected of him and will inevitably always be remembered for that penalty miss. Ironically replaced JR at Wigan for the start of 77-8, after the latter came to Alty via Port Vale having left the Latics earlier in the year.
