Ex-Telford United player Trevor Storton dies

Former Liverpool defender Trevor Storton - who was a member of Telford United's 1989 FA Trophy winning side and also played for and managed Oswestry Town - has died.

Yorkshireman Storton, 61, passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Storton was signed by Liverpool and legendary manager Bill Shankly from Tranmere.

He was never able to establish himself as a regular at Anfield, but his involvement with Liverpool's 1973 Uefa Cup run was enough to earn him a winner's medal.

In 1974 he moved to Chester, where he clocked up 468 games. After 10 years at Sealand Road, Storton took the caretaker-manager's position at Chester, but quit in 1984.

But he was quickly back in football as player-manager at Oswestry Town, then in the Northern Premier League.

After leaving Oswestry, he answered a call from his brother Stan to play under him at Telford, with whom he won an FA Trophy winner's medal in 1989.

After a year-long stint in Lancashire with Chorley, he then worked with a number of sides back in his native Yorkshire, most notably at Bradford Park Avenue.

His stint at Chester made Storton a legend at the club, his league appearance record of 396 games proving the third-best in the club's history.
