In 1993, I was signed for Bury Football Club from Halifax Town by the then manager Mike Walsh for £50,000. I loved every minute of my time playing for ‘The Shakers’.
I personally had probably the best spell of my career at Bury Football Club. A great moment was reaching the ‘Play-Off Final’ against Chesterfield at Wembley, but a devastating loss. The year after we got promoted on the final day of the season to League One, this was another great night celebrating with families, players and fans around the town. The year after, we won promotion to the now ‘Championship’ as title winners, again a fantastic achievement for the club. To lift the Championship Trophy was unbelievable under Stan Ternent. The year after we stayed up in the ‘Championship’ at the expense of clubs like Manchester City!
The fact is, we knew we were a small club in terms of support, seemed to ‘knit’ us together and we had a “them against us mentality”, for me personally, receiving three successive ‘Player of Season’ awards, the promotions, playing Manchester United in the Cup and Sunderland away in front of fifty odd thousand people was a part of my life I will never forget!
Unfortunately after our relegation from the Championship, the club sold me to Huddersfield Town for a fee worth £1 million.
In short, great times, great club and great people! This book is a great read and will be a great test for fans of all ages.

None of this would have been possible had it not been for Fred Eyre telling Bobby Smith, the then Bury Manager, about my achievements at Northern Nomads. To this day I will never forget the faith that Fred showed in me and we still remain good friends.
When I arrived at Bury, as I have said Bobby Smith was the Manager who gave me the opportunity to play for this great club. I was thrust straight into the Reserve Team who played in the old Central League. I played along side a lot of young players and also established pros. I remember for the first time in my career only feeling nervous at Coventry but all that anxiety was eased when I scored the only goal in a 1-0 win. The one thing that sticks out in my mind about that game was receiving a dressing down off the Manager for turning up in a T-Shirt and not wearing a Shirt and Tie.
The late great Bob Stokoe gave me my first team debut away at Chesterfield. After that first game I went on to play with many great players - Danny Wilson, Neville Southall, Lee Dixon - to name but a few who all went on to play for their respective Countries. My great memories were playing alongside Stevie Johnson and Wayne Entwistle who were a great help in me scoring so many goals.
During my time at Bury I played for Bobby Smith, Bob Stokoe, Dave Hatton, Dave Connor, Jim Illey and Martin Dobson. In my early years at the Club Dave Connor showed so much faith in me and helped me achieve many great things. I have many fond memories of playing for this fantastic football club and I am still very proud to be the club's record goal scorer.
I am sure this book compiled by Chris Cowlin and John Northcutt will be a much enjoyed test for Bury fans both of the older generation and the younger supporters and will provide many interesting debates.
