FOREWORD

In the mid 90s Macclesfield Town was the most successful football club in the non-league pyramid. Sammy McIlroy built

on a platform created by his predecessor Peter Wragg to lead the club to two GM Vauxhall Conference titles in 1995 and 1997 and an FA Trophy win at Wembley in 1996. The second

of the two Conference titles resulted in the realisation of the

late Arthur Jones’ vision of the Silkmen playing in the Football League and twelve months later the Silkmen were playing League games at Maine Road, Deepdale and the Britannia

Stadium. We were living the dream.

As I write these notes the club has just completed its 12th

season as a member of that August competition, a tremendous

achievement for a small club that lives in the shadow of many

more illustrious neighbours. But the Silkmen have a long and

proud history that stretches back to 1874, a history that has had its fair share of triumphs and disappointments but has always been marked by the commitment and support of the

community for its local football team.

In the pubs and bars of Macclesfield and in the virtual world

of the internet message boards, supporters often test their

knowledge of the team they love. Many are encyclopaedic in

grasp of the history of the team and the charismatic individuals who have contributed over the years to the unfolding saga.

This book compiled by Chris Cowlin and his colleagues, aided

and abetted by Geoff Knights, will bring an extra dimension to

those debates and arguments. It’s a quiz book with depth and

it’s focused directly at the Silkmen and the men who’ve made

history at the Moss Rose. Test yourself on your knowledge of

Macclesfield Town and enjoy!

Best wishes Mike Rance

FOREWORD

My time spent at Macclesfield Town was very special, not only

for the success and trophies we won, but also the great players

that worked under Gil Prescott and I.

The spirit at the club was fantastic! We took that onto the

field of play and the terraces. I must mention Arthur Jones who backed me in everyway as a chairman and friend, without his support we would not be a League club today. The loyal fans of Macclesfield will surely enjoy using this book and of course with that a lot of memories will come to mind.

Best wishes Sammy McIlroy MBE

INTRODUCTION

I would first of all like to thank Mike Rance and Sammy McIlroy MBE for writing the forewords to this book. I am very

grateful to them for their help and support on this project.

I would also like to thank all the past and present staff of

Macclesfield Town Football Club, all the newspapers and radio

stations for their comments and reviews on this book (these

can be found at the back of the book). I would also like to thank Patrick Nelson at Macclesfield Town Football Club and Geoffrey Knights (the club’s modern-

day historian and statistician) for their help during the books

compilation.

I hope you enjoy this book. Hopefully it should bring back

some wonderful memories! It was great working with Kevin Snelgrove and John DT White again, we have written over 60 books between us. We

have given you a selection of easy, medium and hard questions. In closing, I would like to thank all my friends and family for

encouraging me to complete this book.

Best wishes Chris Cowlin ix
