Born in Rawtenstall 29th September 1966.
James McCluskie was a YTS player at Rochdale, coming on as sub in a home defeat to Bury on 21st April 1984.
It was hard for Jim, a big lad even at 17, to impress in a side playing so wretchedly but he did look to have the makings of a decent striker. He wasn't selected at all in the following season but came back in the side in 1986 when many had forgotten him to replace the injured Ian McMahon in midfield.
It wasn't really his position and morale in the side had fallen through the floor (allegedly because Vic Halom had made promises of perks which the Board couldn't sanction) but he was starting to impress by the end of the season. It was therefore a surprise when he was released in 1986.
He played in Jersey for a brief time with St Peters FC then kicked off a long, successful career in non-league football with Mossley. His first Mossley appearance was a Reserve team match against Barrow and he immediately took the bull by the horns scoring all four goals in a 4-0 win.
He made a scoring first team debut as a substitute the following week on 26th October 1987 in a 3-1 home defeat by Rhyl, a game that proved to be manager John Sainty's last game in charge at Seel Park.
McCluskie then went on to score 23 goals in just 31 appearances to finish as the club's top scorer in 1987/88 season and despite playing just over half a season won the club's Supporters Player of the Year award under the management of Keith Hicks.
Hicks departed early in the 1988/89 season to be replaced by Bryan Griffiths but McCluskie's goalscoring exploits continued unabated as he hit 32 goals in 60 League and cup appearances. He again won the Supporters Player of the Year award and played a major role as Mossley won three trophies that season. The Northern Premier League Cup (in which he scored the opening goal in a 2-1 win over Fleetwood Town at Maine Road), the Manchester Premier Cup and the Reporter Floodlit Cup when he again scored in the final. His last game for Mossley came in Griffiths last game as Mossley Manager on 2nd December 1989 when he scored both goals in a 4-2 defeat at Gateshead having scored 22 goals in 31 Mossley games that season.
Departing Directors Les Lawlor and Steve Fisher then sold McCluskie to Hyde United for a fee of £8,000, a record fee paid by Hyde, as their parting gesture to Mossley and the club controversially never saw a penny of that money.
McCluskie's scoring exploits continued at Hyde before he was sold to Witton Albion for a £10,000 fee midway through the following season after scoring 21 goals in 46 appearances for the Tigers.
He spearheaded Witton Albion's campaign to win the NPL in 1990-91. He was also part of the team that took Witton to the FA Trophy final at Wembley in 1991-92. In the space of 2 months in 1992 played for Barrow, Witton Albion and Mossley (1 game) before settling down at Accrington Stanley until being signed by Morecambe then managed by ex Mossley boss Bryan Griffiths for £2,000 in August 1993.
His goals were vital as the Shrimps won promotion to the Conference. He had a brief spell as Griffiths successor Jim Harvey's assistant between October 1995 and February 1996 before being released in July 1997. He scored 99 goals in 193 appearances for Morecambe.
He returned to Accrington in 1997 and became joint player manager alongside David Hamilton but was surprisngly sacked a few months later.
After a season as a player at Rossendale United ended by an achilles tendon rupture that finished his career and having retired from playing he moved into management full time with Rossendale United and led the now disbanded club to the North West Counties League title in the 2000/2001 season.
He resigned in November 2002 but returned as assistant manager in September 2003 and became manager for a second time in January 2004, resigning for a second time in May 2004.
It was Jim Harvey’s input which encouraged McCluskie to start "doing his badges" at Morecambe and he went through to UEFA B Level.
McCluskie later worked as chief youth scout at Preston North End.

 Born in Irvine, Scotland on 4th december 1973
Martin Joseph McDonald moved from Bramhall to Stockport County in 1992 although he never played a senior match for them, before signing for Macclesfield Town in the summer of 1993.
He burst onto the scene, coming on for the injured Steve Wood, in the First Round FA Cup tie against Hartlepool United at the Moss Rose to score a stunning goal which was the “goal of the day” on television that evening.
A midfielder with a tremendous engine and a tenacious tackler with an ability to run from box to box, Martin helped the Silkmen win their first Conference title and won England semi-pro honours.
On leaving Macclesfield, three successive £20,000 moves took him to Southport, Doncaster Rovers (48-4) and then back to Macclesfield in January 1997 when he helped the side to reach a promotion spot in the Nationwide Third Division of the Football League. During the following season there were problems both on and off the field, initially leading to a seven match ban and then he “disappeared” for four weeks which, on his return, led to him being transferred to Altrincham.
A brief time with Mossley was followed by spells with Droylsden, Flixton and Cheadle Town.

William "Willie" MacFadyen was a goalscoring centre forward, his 52 league goals for Motherwell's 1931-32 championship winning side remains the record goals total for a single season in Scottish League history. He also topped the scoring charts again the following season, netting 45 times. In total, he scored 251 league goals for Motherwell - the eighth-best top flight total in Scottish League history.
MacFadyen played junior football for Wishaw YMCA before beginning his Motherwell career in 1921. Before establishing himself at Fir Park, he spent periods on loan with Bo'ness and Clyde. As well as the 1932 league title, he gained two Scottish Cup runners-up medals while at Motherwell, in 1931 and 1933. He appeared for Scotland twice during 1933, against Wales and Austria. Despite scoring in both matches, he wasn't selected for international duty again, although he did also represent the Scottish League against the Irish League in 1934, scoring twice.
After leaving Motherwell, he played for Huddersfield Town, for whom he appeared in the 1938 FA Cup Final, and Clapton Orient. During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Air Force and was a guest player for Blackpool, Huddersfield, Nottingham Forest, Rochdale and Mossley.
In October 1945, MacFadyen was appointed as secretary-manager of Dundee United, a position he would hold for nine years. While he led the club to a memorable Scottish Cup giant killing against Celtic in 1949, he also oversaw United's record defeat when they lost 12-1 against the team where MacFadyen had been idolised as a player, Motherwell.
He resigned from his post not long afterwards, in August 1954. The Dundee United job was to be his last in football. After leaving the game, he worked as a physiotherapist and chiropodist.
