as written in the ripley and heanor news this week,

"Hill's only previous first team appearance was on August Bank Holiday Monday last season at Holbrook Miners Welfare, and his performance on that day might well have led him to believe that his first team appearances at Heanor might well be limited."

so a few years back, when we were 3rd in the league who was playing in goal due to dean lowe's injury, wasn't ian hill was it. another fantastic news story from the pen of our roving reporter!
