On Tuesday 25th July Notts County travel the short distance up the A38 to play Alfreton Town in a pre season friendly.

How many links between the clubs can we find, players, managers, coaches etc.

Here’s one to start us off, Shaun Harrod started his career with Notts in 2002 and was a player with us until 2005, he later joined Alfreton in 2014 making 16 appearances scoring 7 goal, he returned to Notts in 2014 making 12 appearances and scored 2 goals.

Over to you how many more can we find.

Shaun Brisley is one that comes to mind, I think that's a recent signing for them, but I do have another CB in mind which I seem to be confusing with Brisley in my mind. There was a player who joined another team after leaving us, not long after Brisley played for Notts. ????

josh clackstone is a good name to mention for this, i am sure there are plenty of others.

Yes, Tony Agana is a name that fans of the 90s will remember.

And Craig Westcarr played for them too.

Fabian Spiess had two spells with Alfreton Town, does anyone know what he's doing these days?

@Chris Is it Brad McGowan? He played for Alfreton Town.

No, someone more experienced than Brad. ????

European Cup winner Gary Mills played for Forest, Notts twice & Alfreton Town.

Gary played two periods for Notts.

Nicky Law...feeling old now!

I feel like a lot of our youngsters over the years have ended up at Alfreton due to how close it is. I'll pick one of them...  Pierce Bird
