An injury at Preston North gave Lincoln the chance to steel the services of the mighty Paul Morgan, who would go on to become a Lincoln City and current Macclesfield town legend. With Morgan playing sweeper you could eat your breakfast off the Stacey West goalmouth. We always used to sing ‘You’ll never beat Paul Morgan’, well let us put that theory to the test again shall we.
A big thanks to you to Paul take a bow son!
