Jimmy Capstick - for forever filling holes in the BAFC squad with his totally committed if somewhat limited talents.

One of my all time favourites.....Kevin Proctor, and still attends games even, now and was there last Saturday.

I had the pleasure of ringing round all the 1990 FAT squad asking them if they'd like to attend our End Of Season Dinner a few years back. Phone conversation went something like -

Hiya, is that Kev Proctor?

Yes.

My name is Ian and I'm connected to BAFC & the BST, we were just wondering if y....

I'm not playing any more [SwearFilter] charity games, the last one nearly killed me.

Er no, we were wondering if you'd like to be a guest at our EOSD?

Ah, right, go on then :lol:
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Was it Steve Holden a tall striker with dark hair and a beard?
I always remember him playing against us for Morecambe when I was a kid, then he signed for us .
Just a player that always stuck in my mind.
Can't remember him being good or bad, just pretty average.

Steven Rigg must only have played ten mins for AFC before his unfortunate injury but could he get more goals than some of our mis firing strikers as out of contract at Carlisle today
