Born in Bury on 14th September 1984.
Chris Denham was a strong, skilful and experienced forward who was equally comfortable on the right side of attack or down the middle with a reputation for scoring spectacular goals.
He started his career at Prestwich Heys before enjoying a prolific season at another North Manchester club, Stand Athletic. During that season he also had a loan period at Bamber Bridge.
In August 2002 he joined Stalybridge Celtic before signing for Radcliffe Borough in July 2003.
By December of that year he had returned to Bower Fold.
He likewise had two spells at Droylsden, whom he first joined in in June 2005 before rejoining in October 2005 after a brief spell at Ashton United in between.
He joined Altrincham in 2008 remaining there until joining Chorley in 2011 and linking up with Ashton in late 2012.
Denham joined Mossley from Ashton United in February 2013.
Later with Ramsbottom United and Glossop North End and also had a spell as assistant manager at Trafford..

Born on.14th December 1979.
Big mobile goalscoring centre forward Phil Denney was Mossley manager Jason Beckford's first target of the 2005 close season and he agreed to join after a spell with UniBond Premier club Runcorn FC Halton.
Denney began as a junior with Bury before spells with Harrogate Town, Bradford Park Avenue, Ashton United and Radcliffe Borough where he was a prolific goalscorer.

Born South Elmsall 6th March 1942, Leonard Dickenson was a crafty goalscoring inside forward.
He signed professional for Sheffield Wednesday in February 1960 but didn’t make the first team at Hillsborough and moved to Oldham Athletic for a £100 fee in June 1961. He then made just 5 League appearances for Oldham before being released and stepping into no-league with Witton Albion
A season with Altrincham followed in 1962-63 where he scored 22 goals he was surprisingly released at the end of the season by then Alty manager Charlie Mitten.
From there he joined Buxton before he arrived at Don Wilson’s Mossley in January 1966. He made 19 appearances for Mossley scoring 6 goals in the 1965-66 season but started to come into his own in the season’s that followed.
He became team captain and made 44 appearances scoring 6 goals in 1966-67, 39 appearances scoring 13 goals in 1967-68, he was top scorer with 23 goals from 48 appearances in 1968-69.
Season 1969-70 was probably the pinnacle of Lennie Dickenson’s Mossley career. He led the team to runners up in the Cheshire League, Mossley’s best position for 50 years, the 1st Round proper of the FA Cup where Mossley lost unluckily in a replay to Stockport County and the Quarter Finals of the inaugural FA Trophy making 51 appearances and scoring 17 goals in that memorable season.
1970-71 saw Dickenson make 53 appearances scoring 17 goals and 1971-72 – Mossley’s last in the Cheshire League he made 51 appearances and scored just 2 goals but won the Club’s first ‘Player of the Year’ award – The Gilbert Tarr Trophy in 1972 as Mossley stepped up to the Northern Premier League.
Mossley’s first NPL season saw the departure of manager Don Wilson in November and Dickenson was extremely disappointed not to get the job and after making 30 appearances scoring 7 goals in the 1972-73 season he left Seel Park in December 1972 and returned to Altrincham.
Dickenson made a total of 338 appearances for Mossley and scored 84 goals.
At Altrincham he became team captain and inspiration to a side that would put Altrincham on the map. He had five good seasons at Moss Lane, even acting as caretaker manager along with Tommy Spratt prior to Tony Sanders’ appointment.
He made 212 appearances in his second stint at Moss lane and scored 31 goals.
Spells with Chorley and Leek Town followed and a brief spell as assistant manager at Droylsden to Alex Stepney, but Dickenson surprisingly never became a manager as many people had expected.
One remarkable fact about the fantastic footballer that was Lennie Dickenson was that he was sighted in only one eye.

Born 27th October 1997
Verstaile left sided player Alex Disnmore was signed in August 2021 following an extended trial after moving north from Wiltshire. His previous club is Royal Wootton Bassett Town of the Hellenic League.
Alex previously played for Cheltenham Town, Cirencester Town and Loughborough University.

Born in Lanark, Scotland on 19th July 1925. Died in Tynemouth on 19th February 2013.
John Dennis Downie wasa forward who became Manchester United's most expensive player. Downie was an irrepressibly cheery player, as adept at creating goals as hitting the net himself. John Downie was the costliest footballer in Manchester United history when he arrived at Old Trafford from Bradford Park Avenue in March 1949.
Though his £18,000 fee sounds like chicken feed by modern standards, it represented a huge sum in March 1949 to a club with recent experience of poverty and still recovering from the wartime shelling of their ground by German bombers. But Downie, an irrepressibly cheery little Scottish inside-forward, as adept at creating goals for his colleagues as hitting the net himself, was reckoned to be worth every penny of his price, which was nearly three times the previous highest paid by the club.
Downie had excelled at Bradford alongside his extravagantly gifted friend, the flamboyant England international Len Shackleton, and was seen as the ideal replacement for the feisty Mancunian Johnny Morris, who had just bade farewell to Old Trafford after a sharp difference of opinion with the manager, Matt Busby. But although he made a significant contribution to United's League championship of 1951/52, the first of Busby's reign, and certainly could not be regarded as a flop overall, Downie never went close to emulating the magnificent Morris.
The principal problem was the lofty level of expectation from supporters who had loved the departed local boy as one of their own. While the Scot was pacy and plucky with a sharp football intelligence, a deft finisher and a smooth distributor with either foot, he did not equal the consistent all-round excellence of the more self-assured Morris.
Poignantly, the consensus of opinion among his more astute team- mates was that Downie never realised what an exceptional talent he possessed.
Frequently he performed incandescently in training, dribbling past some of the most formidable defenders in the land as if they were so many lamp-posts, before laying off a slick pass or striking a spectacular goal.
Sometimes on match-days, however, he would dither over his decision-making, surrendering possession limply instead of applying the killer touch of which he was so manifestly capable. Downie was employed as a wartime "Bevin Boy" at Fryston Colliery, near Castleford, when he crossed the border from his Lanarkshire home to join Second Division Bradford as a 19-year-old part-timer in 1944; he turned fully professional after the conflict.
Soon he was attracting attention from a posse of top-flight clubs, all seeking to re-stock their squads after the depredations of the war, and when Busby pipped his rivals, he believed he had acquired the ideal replacement for Morris. The newcomer averaged approximately a goal every three games as he helped United to First Division runners-up spots in both 1948/49 and 1950/51, before they finally captured the League crown a season later. It was an acceptable return as he also contributed numerous assists to senior marksmen Jack Rowley and Stan Pearson; yet throughout that sequence he was dropped periodically, Busby believing that he wasn't quite fulfilling his immense potential.
He was transferred to Luton Town (26-12) in August 1953, United banking £10,000 in exchange for the 28-year-old who had netted 37 times in 116 senior outings for the club.
Still in his prime, Downie made an explosive start for the Hatters, netting a hat-trick in a 4-4 draw with Oldham Athletic on his debut, but then he became one of the game's wanderers, putting in shortish spells with Hull City (27-5), then Kings Lynn and Wisbech Town, Mansfield Town (18-4) and Darlington (15-2).
Still active late in his thirties, he played on with Hyde United before joining Mossley in the 1961/62 season and then Stalybridge Celtic, and would have made a Third Division comeback with Halifax Town had he not already received his Football League severance payment. When he finally laid aside his boots, Downie decided management was not for him and worked as a newsagent in Bradford until he retired in 1985.
