I
have a friend, Mick Fazackerley, who used to be in the
Preston NE reserves in the 70's. He s keen to find
out where David Hughes (Preston
North End) is now. All he knows is that he is
somewhere in Scotland. Have you any idea how to find out
how to contact him?
Hi
Bob, Please could you tell
me the whereabouts of Neil Ramsbottom (goalkeeper) ex
Bury FC, ex Blackpool FC, ex Coventry City FC, ex
Plymouth Argyle FC, and I think ex Blackburn Rovers FC
......ta Pete.
Neil began
the 1970-71 season as a Bury player, which is where I've
placed him on the site. He moved to Blackpool in February
1971, and played the rest of the season for them. A full
list of teams is Bury, Blackpool, Crewe Alexandria (on
loan), Coventry City, Sheffield Wednesday, Plymouth
Argyle, Blackburn Rovers, Miami (USA), Sheffield United,
Bradford City, and Bournemouth.
