THE OFFICIAL STALYBRIDGE CELTIC MATCH DAY PROGRAMME
WELCOME TO BOWER FOLD<br />
FROM THE CHAIRMAN, ROB GORSKI<br />
Good evening and a warm welcome<br />
to Bower Fold. We welcome everyone<br />
associated with <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> and we<br />
wish everyone a safe journey home.<br />
On the pitch, obviously the defeat to<br />
Lancaster was a very bitter pill to swallow. It<br />
was a major blow to the gaffer, the players,<br />
the fans and – of course – a monumental<br />
financial blow to the club’s coffers. More<br />
so because we had an eminently winnable<br />
tie hosting Bury in the next round, with the<br />
visitors likely to bring a very hefty crowd<br />
with them. There is no doubt that the loss<br />
has cost the club a significant, five figure,<br />
sum. The financial ramifications of the<br />
defeat will be felt long and hard.<br />
However, pessimists rarely succeed<br />
in life and it is imperative that we dust<br />
ourselves down and move on. The defence<br />
still remains very resilient, Raul looked<br />
incredibly strong, capable and fit on<br />
Tuesday night and he just needs service<br />
to start scoring. In midfield, it looks like<br />
Harry Benns will be a great addition once<br />
he is fully fit. Cesaire looked impressive on<br />
Tuesday and Moses is obviously no longer<br />
cup-tied. I would argue that there is a very<br />
impressive foundation there to build upon.<br />
Yes, without question, we need to create<br />
far, FAR more in the final third. However,<br />
once we start to gel ‘up top’ (with players<br />
returning from injury and/or brought in to<br />
the club), then I believe Raul will then be<br />
able to thrive. Right now, he’s having to<br />
almost make his own opportunities and our<br />
weakness is patently obvious to everyone.<br />
No one is more aware than Chris himself. I<br />
have every confidence that the gaffer will<br />
address the issue and the goals will start to<br />
flow.<br />
I wrote weeks ago that clubs up and<br />
down the country will struggle this winter<br />
with rampant inflation and the tripling of<br />
electricity bills. Liz Truss’s proposals will<br />
be welcomed by<br />
most households,<br />
but they will still<br />
not be enough and it<br />
would not surprise me in the<br />
slightest if a number of non-league clubs<br />
enter administration as the repercussions<br />
of increased utility bills are felt during the<br />
depth of a cold winter.<br />
It is therefore imperative that we all try and<br />
support fundraisers over the months ahead.<br />
We are planning a race night next Friday<br />
and we hope to have a number of other<br />
events in the months ahead. PLEASE try<br />
to attend. The race night will be a chance<br />
to have a few drinks with friends, enjoy<br />
a little flutter, maybe win a bob or two,<br />
whilst simultaneously helping the club by<br />
participating in the evening.<br />
Elsewhere, the club has entered into a deal<br />
with a local entrepreneur and publican.<br />
Ian is about to open our Sponsor’s Lounge<br />
as the ‘<strong>Celtic</strong> Wine Bar and Grill’ in the<br />
evenings. From a business point of view,<br />
we believe that this will give the club a little<br />
more revenue, while it also gives the fans<br />
the opportunity to start using the lounge on<br />
match days again for meals, beers and fun<br />
times. We encourage fans to see what the<br />
new lounge looks like and book with family<br />
or friends for the next available game. It is<br />
our plan to have ex-managers and players<br />
at certain functions. Nick Shaw (big thanks<br />
Nick) has one arranged with Wraggy and<br />
the 79/early-80s team. Again, please do<br />
support the club (as well as having a fab<br />
time), by attending such gatherings. Keep<br />
checking our social media for information.<br />
Enjoy tonight’s game and get behind the<br />
lads!<br />

FOUR LETTER WORD:<br />
Stuart Vallantine, Tuesday 13th September 2022<br />
Four games, one goal<br />
Great defence on the whole<br />
Too few goals could take our toll<br />
On our season as a whole.<br />
In defence, we can be right brutes<br />
It’s great to see us park the bus.<br />
We need to dust our shouting boots<br />
Whilst the fans still care about us.<br />
It’s Groundhog Day again:<br />
Another night of F.A. Cup pain.<br />
They see our name and think it’s a Bye<br />
‘Out again’, a too familiar sigh.<br />
Bouncebackability:<br />
that’s the key word.<br />
“Builds confidence and<br />
grit”, I’ve heard.<br />
Show the doubters we can score<br />
Two or four shall do for sure.<br />
As another <strong>Bridge</strong> comes our way<br />
There’s another dimension.<br />
We can take the knocks and day,<br />
Bag some goals and show<br />
determination.<br />

MANAGER’S NOTES<br />
WITH THE GAFFER CHRIS WILLCOCK<br />
Good evening and welcome to Bower Fold for<br />
tonight’s fixture with <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong>.<br />
It’s been a week now since we were last in action and<br />
I’m sure everyone was hugely frustrated after the FA Cup<br />
result at Lancaster.<br />
It was gutting to go out after a goal in extra time. The lads put in 100% effort<br />
again and we had some really good chances of our own to go and win the tie<br />
which made it even more heartbreaking to concede so late on.<br />
We’ve picked ourselves back up though and will look to record a good result<br />
tonight. We’ve had a full week to work on things and continue improving as we<br />
get ready for a very busy period.<br />
Please stick with us and continue to support the team. It was great to see so<br />
many of you at Lancaster backing the players.<br />
Enjoy the game.<br />

UPDATE FROM THE SECRETARY<br />
WITH PHIL HALL<br />
Good evening and welcome to Bower Fold for<br />
our latest league game as we welcome our<br />
friends from <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong>.<br />
The news of the death of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, the<br />
only monarch most of us has ever known continues to<br />
dominate our thoughts, and like everyone else, my deepest<br />
sympathies to the Royal Family and everyone affected by her passing.<br />
Both tonight and Saturday we will observe a minute’s silence before kick-off<br />
and the players will wear black armbands.<br />
Last Tuesday’s defeat at the hands of Lancaster City once again saw our FA<br />
Cup hopes and dreams shattered far too early. Our inability to find the net<br />
led to us crashing out of the cup at a gloomy Giant Axe, when the equally<br />
shot-shy home side finally managed to conjure up the only goal of the tie in<br />
extra time.<br />
We wish them the best of luck in the next round against AFC Bury.<br />
The lack of goals has been a hot topic on the forum and no doubt on<br />
the terraces but believe me there is no one more frustrated than the<br />
management team with the failure to find the net.<br />
To try and rectify the situation today sees the addition of 2 new faces to<br />
the matchday squad, with the arrival of Luke Hinsley from Belper Town and<br />
Domaine Rouse who joins us from Ramsbottom United.<br />
In fixture news, on Saturday we entertain Nantwich Town after last<br />
weekend’s games were postponed as a mark of respect, and a week today<br />
we make the short trip to Abbey Hey in the Frank Hannah Manchester<br />
Premier Cup.<br />
Also don’t forget that our under 18s take on Radcliffe FC at the Neuven<br />
Stadium in the FA Youth Cup tomorrow night. I’m sure the young Celts would<br />
appreciate your support if you can make it along. Admission is £2 on the<br />
gate.<br />
Enjoy the game.<br />

MATCH PREVIEW<br />
WITH DEBORAH TAYLOR<br />
After the weekend’s postponement, <strong>Celtic</strong> are back in action<br />
on Tuesday against <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong>. <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> are<br />
currently two places above <strong>Celtic</strong> in 13th, one point ahead<br />
on nine. Kick-off is 7:45 with tickets available on the gate or<br />
online.<br />
With the same number of wins but one more draw than <strong>Celtic</strong>, <strong>Bamber</strong><br />
<strong>Bridge</strong> are just ahead in the table. They started this season without a win in their opening four<br />
matches, losing 4-2 away at Stafford and 2-0 away at Warrington Rylands, and getting two<br />
2-2 home draws with Marske and Liversedge. Home and away wins against FC United (2-1)<br />
and (most recently) away at Guiseley 1-0, lifted them up the table. Their most recent match<br />
saw them draw 1-1 at home to Marine. They’re unbeaten at home this season and have one<br />
win and two losses away.<br />
Four different scorers have got two goals apiece this season, Finley Sinclair-Smith, Rhys<br />
Turner, Noah Alabi and Isaac Sinclair. Most of those goals came at home, with only Sinclair-<br />
Smith and Turner of those getting a goal away from home. They score an average of a goal<br />
per game away (1.4 overall) whilst conceding 2 goals per game (1.8 at home). They’ve kept<br />
only one clean sheet on the road this season (1-0 at Guiseley), and their only failure to score<br />
came away (2-0 at Warrington Rylands).<br />
We’ve met <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> a number of times in the Northern Premier over the past 30 years.<br />
They won their last visit here in one of the few games of the second curtailed season, when<br />
they beat us 2-1, with <strong>Celtic</strong>’s goal coming from an own goal from Nathan Pond. That’s their<br />
only win at Bower Fold during that 30 year period. There have been two draws and three wins<br />
for <strong>Celtic</strong> in that time, our last win at Bower Fold coming in 2019, when Alistair Waddecar<br />
gave <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> a first half lead, cancelling out Darius Osei’s early goal, only for Nathan<br />
Valentine and Craig Hobson to win it for <strong>Celtic</strong> in the second half.<br />
Moses Yoak is available for selection again, whilst both Theo Bailey-Jones and Harry Benns<br />
managed over an hour in the replay. Godwin Abadaki limped off at Lancaster and may join<br />
Ozzie and Ciaran Summers in being assessed, with the weekend break useful for all three.<br />

draw with Marine, <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> lined up as:<br />

A LOOK AT<br />
BAMBER BRIDGE<br />
Football in <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> can be<br />
traced back as far as the late 1800s.<br />
However, the present club was<br />
established in the summer of 1974<br />
when the old <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> club<br />
amalgamated with neighboring outfit<br />
Walton-Le-Dale. The new club played<br />
at the King George’s Playing Field and<br />
the early years were marked with a<br />
high degree of success on the local<br />
football scene.<br />
Life began for the club in the Preston &<br />
District League Premier Division, lifting<br />
their first silverware in the 1975/76<br />
season. Plenty more medals followed,<br />
winning the league for the first time in<br />
1980/81, which brought a run of four<br />
successive titles. The League Cup was<br />
just as fruitful, enjoying wins in the<br />
competition on multiple occasions in the<br />
1970s.<br />
By the 1980s, further competition<br />
wins were on the cards, including the<br />
prestigious Lancashire FA Amateur Shield<br />
and by 1983 the club were able to fulfil<br />
ambitions and purchase their own ground.<br />
After four years Irongate was opened<br />
and by the 1990s the club were able to<br />
progress through the leagues, joining the<br />
North West Counties League. Finishing<br />
fourth in the Second Division in their first<br />
season, the championship followed a year<br />
later with promotion to the top flight.<br />
The 1992/93 season was among Brig’s<br />
most historic, earning promotion to the<br />
Northern Premier League First Division<br />
and a Semi-Final run in the FA Vase - just<br />
one game away from Wembley!<br />
Promotion was won again in 1994/95,<br />
while also lifting the league’s Challenge<br />
Cup, beating Bishop<br />
Auckland at Burnden<br />
Park, with the season then<br />
being followed up in style by lifting the<br />
Northern Premier League title.<br />
1996 saw the arrival of the European<br />
Championships to England, and in the<br />
Czech Republic’s preparation for the<br />
tournament, they faced <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong><br />
with the likes of Karel Poborsky, Pavel<br />
Nedved and Patrick Berger using Irongate<br />
as a basecamp.<br />
A number of seasons in the Premier<br />
Division followed, but in 2002 the team<br />
dropped into the First Division again<br />
before the National League restructure<br />
saw promotion back up.<br />
Relegation followed though where the<br />
club say for a number of years and<br />
through different restructures.<br />
Ahead of the 2014/15 season, the passing<br />
of football legend and ‘Brig’ local Sir Tom<br />
Finney saw Irongate renamed as The Sir<br />
Tom Finney Stadium.<br />
Promotion back to the Premier League<br />
came for <strong>Bamber</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> back in 2017/18<br />
in front of a bumper 1,628 crowd, where<br />
they have remained ever since, now<br />
under the stewardship of Jamie Milligan.<br />
In 2021/22, despite being favourites<br />
for relegation, the club surpassed<br />
expectations and finished in sixth place,<br />
missing out on the Play-Offs by just two<br />
points.<br />
It’s been a solid start to the campaign<br />
this season, keeping the nucleus of last<br />
season’s squad as they look to go that<br />
two points further this time out.<br />

League North side Chester FC in 2019, before<br />
joining on a permanent basis in the summer of<br />

that he would sign for Fylde. They hesitated,<br />
and ‘Brig’ snapped him up. Macauley has been<br />
unfortunate with injuries and was side-lined for<br />
over 18 months through injury. However, since<br />
his recovery has become an integral part of<br />
the team at the heart of the defence, as well as<br />

stranger to the Northern Premier League,<br />
having featured in loan spells for both Nantwich<br />

Under-12s up to Under-18 level. He then joined<br />
Tottenham after a short trial spell and after 6<br />
months in the club was rewarded for his efforts<br />
with his first professional contract. He left<br />
Tottenham at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.<br />

with Morecambe in the early 2000s and was<br />
most recently with AFC Fylde.<br />
David joined ‘Brig’ during the summer,<br />
following some impressive displays in the heart<br />
of the midfield in Pre-Season. A defensive<br />

dictate play, David will be looking to add some<br />
experience into the heart of the ‘Brig’ midfield.<br />

Isaac joined the club from Curzon Ashton in<br />
September 2020 where he had a productive<br />
spell, Isaac is a pacey winger / striker who<br />
likes to attack opposing full backs and get to<br />
the goal line and put in crosses, he will be a<br />
forwards dream. Previous clubs also include<br />
Longridge Town and Isaac has experienced<br />
international football with the England School’s<br />
U18s side.<br />
Isaac was one of ‘Brig’s’ standout performers<br />

highlighted as he won a clean sweep of end<br />
of season awards (Player’s Player, Manager’s<br />
Player and Supporter’s Player of the year<br />
awards), as well as ending the season as the<br />

continues to grow as a player.<br />
FIN SINCLAIR-SMITH [Attacking Midfielder]<br />
Fin signed from fellow Northern Premier League<br />
side FC United of Manchester in September<br />
2021. Fin is an exciting, tricky, pacy winger, who<br />
has become a crowd favourite in his relatively<br />
short time at the club, with some impressive<br />
displays. Fin started his career at Blackpool<br />
in 2013 and scored on his senior debut, in a<br />
home draw against Wigan Athletic in August<br />
2017 in the EFL Trophy. Fin went on to sign a<br />

2018.<br />
Upon his release by Blackpool in the summer<br />
of 2019, Fin joined Longridge Town, before<br />
then moving to FC United of Manchester. Fin<br />
will be hoping to continue the excellent form<br />
he displayed towards the end of the 2021/22<br />
season as ‘Brig’ just missed out on the Playoffs.<br />
PAUL DAWSON [Midfielder]<br />
Paul re-joined the club for his second spell<br />
in November 2021 signing from Lancaster<br />
City, after some impressive early season<br />
performances caught the eye of the<br />
management team, and he was a key player for<br />
‘Brig’ during the Play-off charge in the 2021/22<br />
season, scoring 19 goals and contributing 7<br />
assists across the whole season.<br />
Paul started his career in Morecambe’s<br />
Academy, before joining Kendal Town for<br />
the 2017/18 season. It was whilst at Kendal<br />
that Paul was first spotted by the then ‘Brig’<br />
management team, and after some impressive<br />
performances in his first spell was signed by<br />
Lancaster. After his impressive, committed<br />
displays, Paul has been appointed as the clubs<br />
Vice-Captain for the upcoming season and will<br />

to the Northern Premier League, having also<br />
previously had a two year<br />
spell at South Shields,<br />
moving from Droylsden in<br />

was interrupted by injuries. Upon his release,<br />
Luke then joined Curzon Ashton for the 2021/22<br />
campaign, before then moving to Matlock.<br />
Luke will be hoping to secure a regular spot in<br />
the ‘Brig’ first XI and demonstrate his abilities,<br />
with his energetic displays.<br />
RHYS TURNER [Striker]<br />
Rhys joined Brig in<br />
January 2022, signing<br />
from Lancaster City having<br />
impressed in the first half<br />
of the campaign. Preston<br />
born, Rhys had spells with<br />
the Preston North End and<br />
Lancaster City youth set ups, before signing<br />
for Stockport County as an 18 year old. Rhys<br />
subsequently had spells at Oldham Athletic,<br />
York City and Morecambe in the Football<br />
League, before finishing his professional career<br />
at Barrow due to a series of injuries.<br />
The ‘Brig’ faithful started to see glimpses of<br />
Rhys’ natural talent towards the end of the<br />
2021/22 campaign, and he’ll be looking to<br />
cement his place as the main striker for the<br />
upcoming campaign.<br />

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel<br />
Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from<br />
an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular<br />
Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).<br />
Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he<br />
was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough<br />
University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and<br />
Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an<br />
athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very<br />
seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him.<br />
Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month<br />
before he died, he had no symptoms!<br />
SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN THE<br />
YOUNG (SCD)<br />
SCD is the leading cause of death in young<br />
athletes during sport and the majority of deaths<br />
occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history.<br />
ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to<br />
5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR.<br />
Warning signs may include light-headedness,<br />
fainting, palpitations, swollen legs,<br />
breathlessness.<br />
Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and<br />
healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die<br />
from previously undiagnosed heart conditions.<br />
In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all<br />
young people engaged in organised sport, they<br />
have reduced the incidence of young sudden<br />
cardiac death by 89%.<br />
The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been<br />
set up to raise awareness of SCD and to<br />
provide funding towards heart screening,<br />
defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training<br />
primarily for grass-roots sporting teams.<br />
Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac<br />
screening. It is vital that young people are<br />
identified and treated.<br />

CATCHING UP<br />
WITH DANNY CALDECOTT<br />
Danny Caldecott will be no stranger to<br />
both <strong>Celtic</strong> fans new and old, with the<br />
former left back visiting Bower Fold<br />
during pre-season with his Trafford side.<br />
Moving into management, he’s steering<br />
the ship nicely after stepping up from<br />
assistant in 2020, with the side currently<br />
mid-table in the Northern Premier League<br />
West division.<br />
It’s been just over two decades since he<br />
made his debut for the Celts, donning the<br />
blue and white for three years and playing in<br />
some of the most exciting seasons in recent<br />
years, including that famous “Great Escape”<br />
season under John Reed.<br />
Always keen to get forward, we talk about<br />
times at <strong>Celtic</strong>, life in the dugout today, and<br />
the impact the club left on him as his career<br />
has evolved in non-league…<br />
Hi Danny, how are you? Happy with the<br />
way the season has started for you over at<br />
Trafford?<br />
I’m very well, thank you. As manager I don’t<br />
think you’re ever happy! You walkways want<br />
more. We have done ok, but I thoroughly<br />
believe there is so much more to come from<br />
us.<br />
It’s always nice to see an ex-Celt in<br />
management. Was it always the plan after<br />
your playing days?<br />
Yes, I’ve always wanted to stay in the game<br />
in some sort of capacity. I had a great<br />
opportunity to start as a first team coach<br />
gradually progressing into assistant manager<br />
and now I’ve been very lucky to be trusted<br />
with the responsibilities to manage this<br />
brilliant football club.<br />
During your time as a player at <strong>Celtic</strong>, you<br />
largely played under Dave Miller, with<br />
John Reed then in the second half of the<br />
2004/<strong>05</strong> season. Did you learn much from<br />
them in terms of management, and who<br />
are the more influential managers you’ve<br />
played under across your career?<br />
Yes of<br />
course,<br />
both Dave<br />
and Reedy<br />
were very<br />
different in their<br />
management styles.<br />
But you naturally take bits<br />
from every manager you work under. Most<br />
influential I think,<br />
would be Danny Johnson and Tom Baker.<br />
More so Tom because I really had the<br />
opportunity to work closely with him without<br />
the playing responsibility over five years or<br />
so.<br />
During that 2004/<strong>05</strong> season you were<br />
part of “the Great Escape”, which saw a<br />
remarkable run to stay up. What are your<br />
memories of that period? We even won a<br />
trophy!<br />
You know what? I have so many fond<br />
memories of my time at <strong>Stalybridge</strong>. I was<br />
very fortunate to play for the club and<br />
pretty much learn everything about nonleague<br />
with some incredible teammates,<br />
club officials and fans. It taught me a lot<br />
about myself and how to be with people.<br />
I genuinely couldn’t pinpoint a specific<br />
moment. But the club and everyone involved<br />
always looked after me. That allowed me<br />
to evolve as a man and appreciate a lot of<br />
things that sometimes we take for granted.<br />
You played with some excellent players<br />
during your time at <strong>Stalybridge</strong>, many<br />
have gone on to be selected in fans’<br />
all-time eleven’s as part of a programme<br />
feature. Who were the real standouts<br />
you played with? And who did you enjoy<br />
playing alongside most?<br />
There were many fantastic players and<br />
people! I’d have to say Kev Parr, Craig<br />
Dootson and Colin Potts for various reasons.<br />
Parry was unbelievable to play with, he lead<br />
by example, never shirked responsibility and<br />
was a brilliant player. Many would probably<br />
26<br />
THE OFFICIAL STALYBRIDGE CELTIC MATCH DAY PROGRAMME
overlook Kev from outside but anyone who<br />
played with him week in week out knew what<br />
a top, top player he was.<br />
Doots was the best goalkeeper I ever played<br />
with. Ability wise he was top drawer and<br />
would look after everyone who came through<br />
the dressing room door. A real class act of<br />
man. Pottsy was a maverick, even playing<br />
with him he would amaze you with his<br />
trickery and natural skill with the ball. He was<br />
a very, very good player.<br />
Of course, you went on to have a<br />
distinguished career with a number of<br />
teams in the area and still manage locally.<br />
Do you still keep in contact with many<br />
of your old colleagues? And have the<br />
connections helped on management?<br />
Yes, we are all in a WhatsApp group so it’s<br />
nice to see everyone doing well. That alone<br />
tells you what kind of dressing room it was. I<br />
honestly can’t remember anyone ever really<br />
not getting on. The connections are brilliant<br />
for opinions, advice and knowledge. I’ve<br />
always kept in regular contact with Doots<br />
and Chris Denham, in particular.<br />
We remember you as a player who enjoyed<br />
getting stuck in and was always keen to<br />
get past players and join the attack. Do<br />
you think you’d enjoy it more these days<br />
with that bit more freedom full backs<br />
have?<br />
I’d be in the Premier League! Just kidding,<br />
yes I think I’d thrive in this current climate.<br />
Definitely score more and assist more than I<br />
did anyway. The game now is very different<br />
and obviously pitches etc. have all really<br />
improved.<br />
You’re still early into your management<br />
career, but what are your ambitions for<br />
this chapter in football? What would be<br />
the moment where you thought…yes!<br />
I’m very new, I’m eager to continue<br />
learning and developing all of the time.<br />
I think management gives you a whole<br />
new perspective on football. Obviously,<br />
when you’re a player your responsibility is<br />
all about yourself. Management is about<br />
everything and everyone but yourself. The<br />
‘yes’ moments for me are of course being<br />
successful, promotion and winning trophies.<br />
But it’s not an easy thing to accomplish.<br />
Hopefully one day I’ll be lucky enough to<br />
experience this. It won’t be from a lack of<br />
trying I can tell you that!<br />
And finally, it’s been around 20 years<br />
since you made your debut for <strong>Bridge</strong>,<br />
but if you could go back to one particular<br />
moment from your time at Bower Fold,<br />
what would it be?<br />
This is a very tough question. Like I said<br />
earlier, there were so many fond memories.<br />
But it would probably be when we won the<br />
Presidents Cup in 2003. I actually didn’t<br />
play due to illness that night but as you<br />
can imagine being around the lads and the<br />
celebrations will live long in my memory.<br />

YOURSELF. MANAGEMENT IS ABOUT<br />
EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE BUT<br />
YOURSELF.<br />

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2014<br />
<strong>Stalybridge</strong> <strong>Celtic</strong> 3-1 Tamworth<br />
League: National League North<br />
Many must have thought 30 seconds<br />
into the game that <strong>Celtic</strong> would<br />
be punished severely, but a great<br />
comeback, followed by second half<br />
stalwart defending led to a magnificent<br />
victory for the home side.<br />
When Danny Preston lobbed a long<br />
clearance forward, the normally uber<br />
reliable Matt Regan played head tennis<br />
back to Lewis King, but lost out to Javan<br />
Vidal who put a pinpoint ball across the<br />
face of goal for Shane Clarke arriving at<br />
the back post to smash home.<br />
The <strong>Celtic</strong> faithful need not have worried,<br />
despite being a goal down, it was <strong>Celtic</strong><br />
that looked more likely to score. And<br />
score they did, with movement, pace and<br />
precision. A 65-yard diagonal crossfield<br />
ball from Charlie Ennis freed Ben McKenna<br />
to take on his marker, beat him and then<br />
play the ball back into Ennis’s path, the<br />
mercurial <strong>Celtic</strong> player having followed<br />
his own cross in. Ennis took a touch and<br />
fired past a static James Belshaw.<br />
Just getting back on terms wasn’t on<br />
the <strong>Celtic</strong> agenda, and Matty Hughes<br />
came close to giving <strong>Celtic</strong> the lead with<br />
a thumping header off a corner, before<br />
Ennis and McKenna swapped roles,<br />
Ennis’s persistence getting him space for<br />
a cross where McKenna stooped to head<br />
it into the back of the net.<br />
One goal advantage is rarely enough,<br />
especially against hard working<br />
opposition, but <strong>Celtic</strong> got the cushion<br />
when Ennis floated a free kick, Liam<br />
Dickinson nodded it out to James Cadman<br />
VIEW HIGHLIGHTS<br />
at the edge of the area, who curled his low<br />
shot through a crowd of legs and doubled<br />
<strong>Celtic</strong>’s advantage.<br />
Matty Hughes headed another corner<br />
wide, before Tamworth really should<br />
have equalised, Kevin Thornton scuffing<br />
an effort horribly wide after Vidal had<br />
done the hard work of drawing King and<br />
Regan to give Thornton a gift of a goal.<br />
McKenna came closest to adding to the<br />
score line just before the interval when he<br />
found some space to fire in an edge of the<br />
box curler that Belshaw had to be at full<br />
stretch to push away.<br />
The second half was all one way traffic,<br />
by Tamworth. But for the 45 minutes of<br />
pressure, they just could not breach the<br />
<strong>Celtic</strong> back-line. Despite lofted high balls,<br />
driven low balls, corners, free kicks and<br />
long high balls from their own defence,<br />
there was no way <strong>Celtic</strong> were giving an<br />
inch. Tamworth came close, with Kayden<br />
Jackson firing across the face of goal<br />
after Vidal had seen his effort blocked onroute,<br />
whilst King had to be alert to palm<br />
Regan’s header under pressure away.<br />
And with Tamworth pressing, there were<br />
occasional chances for <strong>Celtic</strong> to break,<br />
Aidan Chippendale firing across goal for<br />
Liam Dickinson, only for Paul Green to<br />
slide in and intercept instead, feeding the<br />
ball back to Belshaw to clear.<br />
So despite the pressure, <strong>Celtic</strong> held onto<br />
their two goal advantage right through to<br />
the final whistle, and moved back up the<br />
table, ahead of a visit to Gainsborough<br />
next week.<br />

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE<br />
WITH MICHAEL BRIERLEY<br />
<strong>Stalybridge</strong> <strong>Celtic</strong> FC - 1991/1992<br />
FEBRUARY 1992 - Results wise then not<br />
the best of months but certainly a very<br />
entertaining one.<br />
A sizeable travelling contingent went to<br />
Harrow Borough in the FA Trophy, perhaps<br />
the longest journey ever undertaken at that<br />
point against unknown opposition, yet the<br />
celebrations after victory, in the social club<br />
complete with impromptu singing and dancing<br />
on tables, were really something to behold.<br />
The league draw at Morecambe was a real<br />
eye opener for younger fans, allowed to travel<br />
away for the first time with coaches now being<br />
run to most games, before the biggest win of<br />
the campaign came in a thrashing of Goole<br />
Town.<br />
The FA Trophy run ended with an unlucky<br />
defeat at Witton Albion, coming courtesy<br />
of a wind assisted goal (Hughes, Bennett,<br />
Blackman, Dixon, Edmonds, Bauress, Brown,<br />
Priest, Camden, Booth, Leicester). There<br />
was indeed no disgrace in this result, with<br />
the opposition being in a higher league and<br />
it did actually mark, at the time, a best ever<br />
performance in the competition, with a run to<br />
the last 16.<br />
With interest in the League Cup also ending at<br />
the quarter finals stage, and although the top<br />
of the table placing still looked assured, it was<br />
to be hoped that there would be no further slip<br />
ups.<br />
MARCH 1992 - The side was strengthened<br />
by the signing of Mark Edwards, who was<br />
always exciting to watch with a wand of a left<br />
foot and chipping in more than a fair share of<br />
goals.<br />
Although no results actually stood out, wins<br />
in every game meant only a handful of points<br />
were now required to reach the ultimate prize<br />
of a place in the Football Conference. With few<br />
other candidates eligible for promotion, due<br />
to relevant ground grading criteria, the move<br />
up into the top tier of non-league football was<br />
now well within touching grasp.<br />
APRIL/MAY 1992 -<br />
Despite being pretty<br />
much written in stone<br />
since the start, such was<br />
the gulf in class enjoyed, it wasn’t<br />
actually until this point that things were finally<br />
settled once and for all.<br />
A win over Horwich meant that promotion was<br />
assured and although there followed a derby<br />
defeat against Hyde United, never normally a<br />
cause for celebration, this was to be a joyous<br />
affair as the league title was clinched with<br />
a mere two games to go, thanks to results<br />
elsewhere.<br />
This, in itself, was rather surprising, as<br />
nobody else had looked like coming close and<br />
although there was a further loss in the final of<br />
the Presidents Cup to Morecambe, it was still<br />
a magnificent achievement.<br />
It would be slightly unfair to make the season a<br />
eulogy of the goalscoring exploits of Camden<br />
(who scored 48 times in all competitions)<br />
together with the managerial genius of Phil<br />
Wilson, as each and every member of the<br />
squad was immense and contributed to its<br />
overall success.<br />
From Hughes in goal to the rock solid defence<br />
of Bennett, Dixon, Aspinall and Blackman.<br />
The midfield magic of Bauress, Brown and<br />
Leicester and deadly front line of Buffalo,<br />
ably assisted by Edwards and Priest were all<br />
magnificent, as were the contributions from<br />
Booth, Burrell, Edmonds, Sharratt, Smith et al,<br />
who all deserve just as much fulsome praise.<br />
Indeed, the whole team and year could feature<br />
in any all-time favourites ever.<br />
