Steve Sherlock

After serving his apprenticeship with Manchester City, Birmingham born Steve could not find a way past consistent Scottish international full-back Willie Donachie at Maine Road so jumped at the chance to join David Pleat’s Luton over the summer of 1978.

Making his debut, along with six others, on the opening day of the 1978-79 campaign Steve had little to do in the Hatters defence as the forwards went rampant, banging in six second half goals against luckless Oldham.

Steve unfortunately lost his place to Mark Aizlewood after the Town’s second game, a 1-3 defeat at Crystal Palace, and he eventually joined Stockport the following summer where he became a terrace favourite making nearly 250 League appearances before moving to Cardiff and finally Newport.

Steve still lives in South Wales.
