I know football's 4th tier isn't much to brag about but to headline it as 'Poo' (as in your clipping) is a bit much.

Seems odd to see a goal from Johnny Hore!

Cricketer Chris Balderstone scoring a couple of goals in the 2nd Division for Carlisle...Awkward for him the football & cricket seasons overlapping.

Balderstone made history on 15 September 1975 by taking part in a County Championship match and a Football League game on the same day.Balderstone was 51 not out against Derbyshire at the end of day two of Leicestershire's match at Chesterfield.After close of play he changed into his football kit to play for Doncaster Rovers in an evening match 30 miles away (a 1–1 draw with Brentford). He then returned to Chesterfield the following morning to complete a century and take three wickets to help wrap up Leicestershire's first ever County Championship title.

A real all round sports man !
