I met Mike after he had left Burnley, I think it was when he was a Fulham player. He was telling me he’d not collected anything from his Burnley days. I’d a lot of spare programmes in games he’d featured, so I bundled a carrier bag full and took them to our Fulham away match. A message was passed to him about me having something for him. We met by the Craven Cottage after the match, where I handed him the carrier bag. The look on his face when he saw them, showed it meant a lot to him. At least he now had something to remember from his time with Burnley.

You’d hope at the very least he has a 4th division championship medal.

Scoring against Rovers in the Manx Cup pre season made Mike Conroy a instant hero....and what a partnership him and Roger Eli had !
