They had a famous FA Cup run in the early 1990s, eventually being knocked out by Crewe 3-1 in the 3rd round. Roly Howard was manager for a record 33 years (1972-2005), although he will always be remembered by some fans as Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner. TV presenter Ray Stubbs once asked: "How's business, Roly?" to which Roly replied "Oh you know - ups and downs."
Former players include Michael Ball (Everton and Rangers) and Stephen Wright (Liverpool and Sunderland). The club motto is 'To Enjoy, Not Destroy.'
TIGER Woods is generally an excellent role model.
He is focused but affords others encouragement. He relishes victory, yet he is gracious in defeat.
So, how come he cannot kick the filthy habit of gobbing in disapproval at his occasional shortcomings?
After pushing his tee shot on the 17th at Augusta, he thudded his club on the turf before gratuitously blowing a load of phlegm into the faces of a few hundred million golf fans worldwide. Not for the first time.
A bogey was just reward. Alternatively, he could have been handed a hefty fine (whatever that is for someone of Tiger's wealth) and a packet of Kleenex.
The incident comes just days after Sergio Garcia was caught on camera spitting into the hole after three-putting in America. Time for the USPGA guys to clean up their act.
If you can stomach it, watch Sergio's hole in one by clicking on the image below.

Since Tiger's unsavoury saliva expulsion at the 17th yesterday he has dropped five shots in nine holes at Augusta.
