Blast from the past - Central league 1985

I often wonder what happened to Andy Strong. Willie Maddren gave him his debut at left back and he looked a real prospect. Rioch became manager and Strong was never seen again .

He went on to have a fantastic career in the arts and The Commitments was a particular high point ;)
 
Darren Collier worked where I did, he was at Blackburn for a few years as No 2 to Bobby Mimms before finishing his career at Darlington,then playing in the Northern League,really nice lad.
 
Mitch Cook I believe rather than Midge Cook, unfortunately. Wonder if that's THE David Fairclough, aka super sub of Liverpool fame in the Latics line up?
 
If I Was.......to guess I'd say it's Mitch Cook - wonder if he'd say he had No Regrets over his career.

Midge Ure was number 1 in 1985 - maybe the typist had him on their mind
Midge Cook nearly signed for Rapid Vienna, but they pulled the plug on the deal after he was quoted saying 'Vienna, it means nothing to me'

You say that, but he went to a party that evening and said he was 'Dancing with tears in my eyes'.
Then they 'All stood still' - and wondered what was wrong with him
 
Think Oldham keeper could be Andy Goram (RIP) not Andy Gorton.
Looks like whoever has done that team sheet has had a bit of a mare.
