Former Anfield star hails class of Non-League
JAMIE VARDY may fly the modern-day flag for a NonLeague player rising to the top of the footballing ranks, but Nick Tanner knows all about hitting the big time… the former Mangotsfield United defender played in the last Liverpool team to win the First Division 27 years ago.
Tanner, left, would make a total of 59 appearances for Liverpool after signing for the Reds in 1988 for £20,000, playing first under Kenny Dalglish before Graeme Souness’ arrival at the club in 1991.
But his path began when he was mucking it out in the Western League, and he remains adamant it was the footballing lessons he picked up in the lower ranks that gave him the edge to take his game onto the hallowed turf of Anfield.
