Those of us of a certain age will remember Kevin Charlton who played against us many times in goal for Telford United, and also, I think, Bangor City. Sadly, he has died.

I recall him being an excellent goalkeeper in a very strong and successful Telford United team which included the likes of Harry Wiggins and Ken McKenna.
