Jim Rawlinson – Long time Hanley Town Club Official.

Jim [2000-2009] “There was a slow decline in the club which resulted in it almost folding in the late nineties. We turned a corner in the year 2000 – financially and on the pitch. Darren Stair and Dave Price assembled a team that was the start of the upturn in fortunes, winning two league championships, the Staffs Vase and the League cup. The Reserves also won the Leek cup. It was the start on the road of where we are today (2020). [2010 – 2019] This group of players took the mantle on to take us forward under the management team of Colin Stair and Dave Price, winning the League, Staffs Vase, League cup, and Leek cup. However with a few games to go, sadly ‘Codger’ (Colin Stair) passed away and will always be missed around the club. Dean Owen and Wayne Johnson took us into the North West Counties League in 2013, and in our third season, we won the First Division Championship and advanced to the Premier Division – where we remain today (2020)”
