Roger Holmes

While still at school he played for Limestone Rangers in the Gainsborough League, and made his debut at 15 for Lincoln City's reserve team.He signed for Lincoln City as a part-time professional, and made his debut in the Football League on 18 April 1960, aged only 17, in a Second Division away game against Brighton & Hove Albion.He was gradually introduced to regular first-team football, and remained with the club as they dropped to the Fourth Division.Only a few games after his return, he broke both bones of his leg, an injury which kept him out of football for 18 months and from which he never recovered his previous standard of play.[1] After football, he spent 25 years with a major finance company, working his way up to a regional management position.
