Heroes of Their Time

Another trip down memory lane with players who, most likley, meant more than your average 'baby Bentley'.

Wigan - Andy Liddell was at the club for the best part of six years and his goals were instrumental in helping Wigan move up through the leagues to the brink of promotion to the Premier League. During this time he was voted Player of the Year, was called up to the Scotland squad and was leading club scorer when he finally left the club.

Bolton - 'Super' John McGinlay is arguably Bolton's best ever player and a firm favourite with the fans.He twice helped them win promotion to the Premier League, starred in thrilling cup runs, with a Cup Final against Liverpool.He also formed a deadly striking partnership with current Bolton manager Owen Coyle.

Sunderland - Bobby Kerr captained Sunderland in 1973 to their last success when they beat strong favourites Leeds Utd in one of the best FA Cup finals seen at Wembley.One of their greatest ever servants, missing very few games, Although small in stature, Bobby was a 'terrier' of a player, and a skilful winger.

Birmingham - Bob Hatton was a record signing at the time, but not as well known as Trevor Francis and Bob Latchford as they together formed possibly Birmingham's best ever forward line. He assisted in them gaining promotion to the top flight and to FA Cup semi-finals in 1972 and 1975.
