Sounds comprehensive Pete.

Can I ask how the history of the club denotes the players ability? As an example, the ACFC youth league keeper that sits on the bench most weeks (and I have no idea of his name), you could write 'XXX XXX a 20 yo keeper that sits on the bench of Auckland City, 2009 CWC giant killers'. That does not mean he is actually a good keeper. Gordon Ramsay tells everyone he trialled at Rangers. He didn't but it sounds good and doesn't mean he was/would have been a good player.

Great info though on the background. Cheers.

I played for Formby High School as a kid in the North Sefton League.  In that team was Michael Imlach who went on to sign for Leeds Utd, but never played a game.  Michael's dad was Stewart Imlach who won the FA Cup with Notts Forest, was a coach at Everton, and who also played for Scotland at the 1958 World Cup but, interestingly, was never capped (his son Gary Imlach wrote a really good book about him if you're interested).  This must mean I was a really great player - well at least in my own underpants.  So yeah Vader I'm with you....again.
