Great stuff, there can't be many who are held in such high regard by both teams!

I was too young to see much of Bryson at the Lane (though I watched the hell out of those Season videos!) but I do remember him in Dane Whitehouse's testimonial. Admittedly the game was less than competitive by Bryson was a class apart, second in the MOTM stakes only to Rob Kozluk, goal machine.

Vastly underrated player that Jock Bryson.

Had a goal in him and was lethal at finding a telling pass or cross for the likes of Deane and Agana.

Those were the days, when nicknames were a thing of beauty. He was Scottish so he was called Jock, all players of the caledonian persuasion were.

Imagine trying to do that with our current squad......

It would be like the Monty Python 'Bruce' sketch.

Ex-PNE skiepper Bryson was TV star at United

Fuck me, does the Lancashire Evening Post employ the same proof readers as The Stir?

Cracking player Jock, was over shadowed somewhat by Deane and Agana but had goals in him and a very intelligent passer.

As for nicknames, Mark Morris liked fishing so was named Guppy, John Greaves was kit man so nicknamed Bag, never understood Digger Barnes though.

A very good player. Bought for peanuts and didn't look out of place as we went up through the divisions. Used to bomb out to the right hand corner and smack crosses in.

Who was the 'Zone Man'?

Digger Barnes? Character from 'Dallas'.

We could do with him again this week. I remember him having a star performance when we walloped Spurs at home some years back. The statistics or Wiki experts can fill in the gaps in my memory but we got 5 or 6 that night.
