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.'
STEPHEN Warnock pulled off one of the oldest playground pranks on John Arne Riise - and thanks to YouTube the Norwegian may struggle to live it down.

Yes, I'd love to post something Byasen but someone lurking somewhere within the empire has locked me out of my own blog.
I'm standing on the doorstep but no-one will let me in! I can post comments but nothing else.
Do they know something I don't?
Hello? Helllllloooo? HELLO!!!!!!!!!
I was going to let you all know where the Harvey millions have been invested during this week's Open Golf.
I'll just give you my top six in no particular order. If it's as successful as my previous Touchline Dad tips, we could be in serious bother.
1, Stewart Cink - Mr Consistent and in the form of his life. He won me a few quid at the US Masters in April. Experienced, good putter, capable of boring the opposition into submission by Sunday.
2, Sizzling Sergio - most consistent Open contender in the field. He did OK here as am amateur in 1998. I followed him round one day. So there. Blossoming into a world class player. Plus the Spanish have won everything else this summer.
3, Robert Allenby - who? Aussie, likes Birkdale (top 20 in 1998) who will play the best golf from tee to green. Will his putting be good enough?
4, Justin Rose - best of the Brits, good on links courses and Birkdale will bring back fond memories of when he was an amateur in 1998, like Senor Garcia.
5, Jim Furyk - consistent Yank. Course will suit him. Experienced and not flashy which is key to winning at Birkdale. Plus I bumped into him on Sunday, so it's a lucky omen. Don't think he recognised me though.
6, Mike Weir - good in blustery conditions and a wizard around the greens. Steadily creeping into form on the US Tour this season and a big tournament player. One of my favourite golfers. Who was the last lefty to win The Open?
