Paul Connor
Signed by Brian Flynn just before transfer deadline day in March for £35,000 from Rochdale. Paul has proved to be a hardworking, skilful striker, forging effective partnerships with both Lee Trundle and Kevin Nugent. Often maligned for basically not being Lee Trundle, Paul scored a number of very important goals again last season with some excellent finishes. Our second top goal scorer with 12 finishes in 44 appearances was 3 or 4 better than our top scorers totals for a number of seasons during the 1990s. With his dyed blonde hair, one of the few players in the squad who can make Lee Trundle look macho! 2004/2005 Signed by Brian Flynn just before transfer deadline day in March for £35,000 from Rochdale. Paul has proved to be a hardworking, skilful striker, forging effective partnerships with both Lee Trundle and Kevin Nugent. Strong winning the ball in the air, and with 2 good feet, Paul has proved to be a handful to most defenders since his arrival at the Vetch. Has also returned a good strike rate in front of goal, with 5 goals in 12 appearances. 2003/2004 Paul Connor is a 6 foot 2 inch centre foward and is said to be a good goal scorer.
