Former Rochdale centre forward Jim McCluskie was signed after returning from a spell playing with St. Peters (Jersey) in October 1987 during John Sainty’s spell in charge. Mossley had a reserve team that season and McCluskie made his debut in a reserve fixture against Barrow at Seel Park on 31st October 1987. The Mossley fans who stayed behind that day as the first team were crashing out of the FA Trophy at Alfreton Town were treated to a one man show as McCluskie grabbed all four goals with clinical precision to give Mossley’s 2nd string a 4-0 victory. The following week he made his first team debut as a substitute against Rhyl and scored the first of his 77 goals for the club in just 123 appearances. His all action bustling style and great heading ability made him a hugely popular player with the highlight of his time at Mossley being in the 1988-89 season when he scored the opening goal in the Northern Premier League Cup Final victory against Fleetwood Town at Maine Road.
He was voted Mossley 'Player of the Year' in successive seasons before being controversially sold to Hyde United for an £8,000 fee as a parting shot by the outgoing chairman Les Lawlor.
Jim McCluskie had later spells with Witton Albion, Morecambe and Accrington Stanley and was then manager of Rossendale United as they swept to the North West Counties League title in the 2000-01 season.
