Guy Branston joined Lincoln City, due a defensive injury crisis in August 1999, on a month's loan from Leicester City. He was spotted after impressing in a pre-season friendly against Lincoln, and while on loan, he received praise for his defensive displays and for his willingness to join the attack.

He failed to make a first team appearance for Leicester but played on loan at Colchester and Plymouth. Then Imps' manager John Reames stated, to the surprise of the Lincoln supporters, that he had no interest in signing Branston on a permanent contract.

In October 1999, he joined third division rivals Rotherham on loan, where he also impressed but Rotherham had more sense than Lincoln and quickly signed Branston on a permanent deal. He was to play a major role in Rotherham's climb to the old first division from the third.

After five years, Rotherham decided to release Branston, and he joined Sheffield Wednesday. He also played on loan at Wycombe and Peterborough United, but after less than a year at Sheffield Wednesday he left to join Oldham Athletic in a permanent transfer.

In summer 2006, Branston made a return to Peterborough United but things turned sour by the end of the season when he was told that he was no longer needed by Peterborough so he was loaned to both Northampton Town and Rochdale.

Branston was released from his Peterborough United contract in December 2007; a few weeks later, he joined Notts County. He stayed at Notts County for a matter of weeks before leaving to join non-league Kettering Town. Branston helped Kettering to win promotion to the Conference National at the end of the 2007/08 season.

He acquitted himself well with the higher level, which is not surprising considering that he has played much higher. There was even a return to Sincil Bank for him, when Kettering defeated Lincoln City in a FA Cup first round replay in November 2008. Overall, Branston helped re-establish Kettering in the Conference and was made captain of the side.

Branston's performances were rewarded with a return to the Football League in July 2009 when he join newly promoted Burton Albion on a free transfer.

Position: striker.

Lincoln City Career: 0 appearances between September - October 1999.

Clubs: Redditch, Southport, Bliston, Lincoln City, Finn Harps, Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers.

Mike Turner made a dream Barnsley debut when he scored one goal and assisted another, thereby helping Barnsley to overcome promotion chasing Ipswich at Portman Road in 1999.

He later started two more matches at Barnsley plus a further eleven substitute appearances but he could not add to his goals tally. Barnsley beat off tough competition to secure Turner's signature from non-league Bliston Town in 1998. A nominal fee was involved for the 6 foot 2 inch striker, who had also played for Southport.

Turner signed on initial month's loan at Sincil Bank with a permanent move mooted. However, this was not to be as he returned to Oakwell without making a first-team appearance for Lincoln because of injury.

His career at Barnsley failed to take off and he was loaned to Finn Harps and Doncaster Rovers. He impressed at Doncaster sufficiently to earn a permanent transfer in January 2001.
