You're overlooking something Bagpuss. Where was he born? No you're wrong, it wasn't Manchester.

I was being sarcastic as I'm one of those who thought Leighton wasn't given a chance to prove himself but it does seem now that he has found a level of football where he should attract some interest so maybe another club might take a gamble on him.

Re: Leighton McGivern
He was a fans' favourite because he was quick and put a lot of effort into his game. This blinds the fact that he scored once in a blue moon. The stats don't lie. I agree that he has found his level. At best he's a Conference North player.

But to be fair (and why not), as I recall most of his appearances for Stanley were only for the last 10 or 15 mins in games that were already lost ....

Re: Leighton McGivern
He was never fit enough. When he was an Everton trainee he was super fit. He never got back to his best shape.
