JEREMIAH LOWERY
Born: 9th October 1924 in Newcastle.

Position: goalkeeper

Lincoln City career: 51 appearances between 1952-54.

Clubs: Leicester City (as a 14yrs old amateur), Parson's Athletic, Newcastle Utd (June 1947- Feb 1952) Lincoln City (Feb 1952 signed for £750, until July 1954), Peterborough United (July 1954- June 1956), Barrow (June 1956 - June 1958), Crewe (June 1958 - June 1959), Wisbech Town (June 1959- ?) .

Jeremiah Lowery made seven appearances for Lincoln City FC as a wartime guest but was signed by Newcastle United when the war ended. However, he made just six first team appearances for Newcastle in almost 5 seasons.

This prompted him to return to Lincoln City in February 1952 where he shared the goalkeeper's position with Jimmy Jones. Overall, Lowery aggregated 147 Football League appearances for his 4 league clubs - Peterborough United and Wisbech were both non-league clubs are the time.

After retiring from football, Lowery became an attendant at a Cheshire Home in East Anglia.



JASON BARNETT
Jason Barnett - formerly of Lincoln City FCBorn: 21st April 1976 in Shrewsbury.

Position: right-back

Lincoln City career: 195+(16) appearances and 4 goals between October 1995 - June 2002.

Clubs: Wolverhampton Wanderers, Lincoln City and Lincoln United.

Jason Barnett was sold by the then Wolves' manager and former Lincoln City manager Graham Taylor for a mere £5,000. Taylor must have been doing his former club a favour as Barnett proved a bargain buy, who received several awards while at Lincoln.

He began his career as a trainee but failed to make an appearance for Wolves before signing for Lincoln City FC. He was immediately given a first team place and his surging runs from right-back combined with his pinpoint crosses made an instant difference to a rapidly changing Lincoln City side.

Unfortunately, Barnett spent a large portion of his Imps' career struggling with various injuries but he always immediately regained his place once fit. He was out of contract at the end of the 1999/2000 season and speculation linked him to Notts County. However, in July 1999, he agreed a new three year deal. Alas, he missed most of the 1999/2000 season due to a freak toe injury and it was March before he was fully fit.

When his contract expired in June 2002, he was released due to Lincoln's poor financial state. He turned down other offers to remain in Lincoln, where he played for non-league Lincoln United. He retired early from football to pursue a career away from the game.
