Dixie mentioned him and his great info work even though he hasn't actually posted on this thread.

I'm pretty proud that I've seen so many on that list play so many times. Seems to be a fairly large contingent from my lifetime, especially late 70s through the 80s, but the one exception is Paul Wilson. Who is/was that? Sorry to ask, just don't know him.

Shaun, Paul Wilson was a regular, usually at left full-back, in our early days of non-league in the NPL. You can see him in the attached photo from 74-75. I am not certain of this but I think we got him from Lancaster (or possibly Netherfield?) and the last I heard of him was some mention that he was at Wembley to watch us in the 1990 Trophy Final. Paul had enough sideboard to make Ray Dorset envious.

Paul was from Netherfield. A couple of seasons after that picture he was bald as a coot!

He was a fullback but could also fill in as a midfielder. The tag 'utility player' was often mentioned in the same breath as his name.

Anyone else remember billy Kenny, Only played a couple of games for us in the mid 90s, blessed with a great talent but unfortunately wasted it

played more than a couple of games, but not many more...
When we got beat by Wigan in the FA Cup (4-0 was it?) he still got man of the match in the national papers.... another example of a wasted talent

He had certain, ahem, habits which weren't conducive to a footballing career and he was out of the game in his early 20s. He could have had a career with Everton before Barrow, but it seems he was unable to resist the temptations put in front of him. It was indeed a wasted talent.

So going back to the original post, congrats on 200 games Alex kinda makes you one of us.
