TBF he has since carved out a decent career in comedy

Ronnie Hildersley former apprentice made one appearance for the first team early 80s in the Old Division One.

Against Swansea, away, with Ivan Golac making an appearance as well.

Stuart Lee. He came. did nowt. Buggered off to play most of his career in the states. A classic signing from Stockport County.

I saw him score a consolation goal away at Brighton late December 1979,a very cold day,a 4-1 hammering.

Who can remember a young South African player we had in the late 80s, he was on a trial I think and played up front? I can’t remember his name and it’s bugging me now.

Not sure whether he ever played a first team game but I seem to recall him playing on the reserves, and there was a bit of (misplaced) hype about him at the time.

Looking back now this was the sort of thing (among many others) that marked out the Swales era - players with little obvious pedigree turning up out of nowhere and immediately getting in and around the first team. It was pretty much a free-for-all.

Yes Brewster I was there - terrible game :-( think Bobby McDonald got our only goal.
Didn’t Andy May play too ?

Tom Madigage? Seem to remember a lot of hype about him, a few reserve games and disappeared

I remember Bobby Mac scored as he was my favourite player at the time, not sure about Andy May to be honest.

I was a young, innocent lad at the time - or at least as innocent as I’ve ever been - but after watching that day I was under no illusion as to just how shit we were. Quite amusing now when you look back.

Yes, that’s it, thanks. Like you say, loads of hype and then never to be seen or heard of again.
