Here's the third part about
Can you identify these five Darlo favourites of the 90s from the clues?
- League career started at Chester and ended at Halifax Town, though we signed him from Burnley. Industrious, energetic striker perhaps best remembered for a cool finish at Elland Road. League apps: 115 Goals: 33
- This elegant midfielder played for Sunderland, Coventry City and Derby County before spending two seasons with us. Gained one full international cap in 1983 and even played in an FA Cup final. League apps: 57 Goals: 7
- Having shared a house with David Beckham, this former Man Utd trainee joined Quakers in 1996. An attacking midfielder who gained a reputation of being “over-eager” in the tackle. League apps: 28 Goals: 3
- Signed by Billy McEwan and sporting much longer hair than in his first stint with Darlo eight years earlier, this midfielder did not enjoy much success this season. No promotion this time round! League apps: 11 Goals: 0
- Although he limped off in the 1999/2000 Play-Off Final, this dependable defender made 45 League appearances that season. In recent years he has turned his hand to football club management League apps: 11 Goals: 0
