FORMER PLAYERS CURRENT CLUB

Mark Bettany, who undertakes a significant amount of research for the Silkmen Archive web site, has put together this list of former players’ current whereabouts as a snapshot in April 2020. At the end is a list of former players who have progressed to management/coaching.

I thought it may be of interest to summarise where former players, where known, currently ply their trade - with the wholesale team rebuilds at the each summer over recent years, there are a lot of former Silkmen out there.

In the following lists:

 the time at Macc is noted in brackets, e.g. (2018-19);  players who turned out for Macc whilst on loan from another Club are annotated with (L), and;  players who played for & / or came through the Macc Youth set up are annotated with a (Y)
