Dave Felgate is probably one of the best goalkeepers to ever grace Sincil Bank. His exceptional form made him a rare breed at Lincoln: a full international whilst playing for The Imps. Wales was the country that selected him for their international against Romania. Although he was named in several other Welsh squads, he was unable to dislodge Neville Southall as Wales' number one goalkeeper.

He originally joined Lincoln on loan from Bolton in September 1980 as Colin Murphy struggled to replace the departed Peter Grotier, who himself had been an excellent goalkeeper during the Graham Taylor years.

Colin Boulton had originally taken over from Grotier but Murphy moved for Felgate when Boulton suffered a broken leg. His initial loan period was such a success that Murphy paid £25,000 to secure Felgate's long-term services. He was almost ever present during his five years at Lincoln.

The 1982/83 season saw Murphy's side peak as boardroom disputes cost The Imps promotion to the old Second Division, which caused the side to begin to break up. Felgate was amongst the players from that team to be honoured, as he was voted the PFA Division 3 goalkeeper of the year for two consecutive seasons - 1982/83 and 1983/84.

The 1985 Bradford City Fire was the other turning point and soon afterwards, Felgate left Lincoln to join local rivals Grimsby Town for tribunal set fee of £27,500.

A couple of years later, he left Grimsby to return to his original club Bolton where he appeared in several Wembley finals. He made over 500 Football League appearances in total before retiring from professional football to work in a DIY store in Leigh. He continues to play part-time at various Lancashire non-league clubs and was Leigh's man-of-the-match in their 1998/99 FA Cup tie against Fulham.

Stuart Naylor joined Lincoln City as a schoolboy before signing professional terms in 1980. His first-team appearances were limited due to Dave Felgate's superb ability but Naylor would have made the first-team at most other lower division clubs.

During the early 1980's he had a trial for Wimbledon as their goalkeeper Dave Beasant was refusing to sign a new contract. However, the Wimbledon players did not take too kindly to the possible replacement for Beasant, so they made sure that Naylor would not enjoy his trial. Fortunately for Lincoln, he returned without signing for Wimbledon, and he resumed his position as reserve goalkeeper.

One of his earliest appearances for Lincoln was as a striker in the match against Newport County in October 1982. Colin Murphy had requested more funds to sign new players as an injury crisis had ravaged Lincoln's small squad. The Imps' board refused, so Murphy made his point by playing Naylor as a striker in a match that City unsurprising lost 5-1.

Naylor was given his opportunity when Felgate left Lincoln, and he performed admirably, so admirably in fact, that topflight club West Bromwich decided to pay City £100,000 in February 1986. This sale was unplanned and Lincoln had no cover for Naylor. The then Lincoln manager George Kerr told the supporters not to worry despite Saturday's match only being two days away by assuring them that Lincoln would play a goalkeeper "even if Bert Loxley has to play in goal." Loxley was not needed as City brought Trevor Swinbourne out of retirement.

Meanwhile, during 1989, Naylor went on to represent England's "B" side against Switzerland, Iceland and Norway. He stayed at West Brom until his transfer to Bristol City in 1997. He also made several vital saves when he played at Sincil Bank for Exeter City during the 1999/2000 season, although Lincoln did win 1-0.

Upon his release by Exeter in May 2000 he joined then Conference club Rushden & Diamonds. Naylor was last heard of contemplating retirement from football to become a postman.

Ex-Lincoln City manager Alan Buckley's reputation of developing young talent must have certainly influenced Paul Morgan into signing for the Imps. Without doubt, Morgan was Buckley's best signing, after arriving at Sincil Bank in July 2001 on a free transfer.

A Northern Ireland Youth International, who was tipped for great things until injury set his career back for two years. His contract expired at the end of the 2000/01 season but Preston, because of his injury situation, hesitated over a new deal. This alerted a number of clubs including Rochdale and Oldham and as a result, Preston decided that they would offer him a year's contract.

After much consideration, Morgan opted to join Lincoln with the prospect of first team football should he prove his fitness. His initial month's trial was successful and he signed a permanent contract with the Imps, having already made his debut.

Several excellent performances propelled him back into the Northern Ireland reckoning when their manager Sammy McIIroy named him in a Northern Ireland "reserve" side for a friendly against Macclesfield Town in November 2001. Unfortunately, three days after his call-up he was injured at Shrewsbury and forced to withdraw from the Northern Ireland squad.

Morgan was once tipped to be Lincoln City's next big money sale, after having a magnificent 2002/03 season. He ended the season as Lincoln City's player of the season and received a call-up to Northern Ireland's 'B' squad in May 2003 but unfortunately had to decline as Lincoln were involved in the play-off's.

Since then, he has become the captain of Lincoln City and signed a three-year contract in June 2005.

Possibly Morgan's chances of playing in the higher leagues have now vanished after a dreadful 2005/06 season. He received two red cards during the opening fixtures of the season. Worse followed in November 2005 when he broke a bone in his foot. Morgan remained out of action until April, and he clearly lacked match fitness upon his return.

The 2006/07 season will be an important one for Morgan, especially as his two defensive colleagues of Gareth McAuley and Jamie McCombe have now left the club. Under new manangement, Lincoln reverted to a 4-4-2 system which meant that only two centre-halves were required. Morgan was given one of these roles but sometimes failed to produce his best display and was dropped. In April 2007, he submitted a shock transfer request in order to move back to the north-west of England. Ironically, after submitting the request, he reclaimed his first team spot and made several excellent performances.

However, Morgan would later become the subject of fans' grievances when his contract was terminiated by mutual consent despite known interest from Bury. A day afterwards, Morgan did indeed sign for Bury, leaving fans asking why Lincoln did not hold out for a transfer fee.
