We head into the FA Cup once again this weekend as we face NPL East side Garforth Town in the First Qualifying Round.   Dave McNabb’s side come into the game off the back of Bank Holiday Monday’s 3-0 win against Cheadle Town.

Tony Rigby is our guest for Monday’s Bank Holiday clash with Cheadle Town, James Bentley looks back on his career. Ask a Bury fan between the ages of about 38 and 50 who their favourite player is and it’s a certainty that a significant proportion will answer ‘Tony Rigby’.   He is their Greg Farrell, the skilful maestro with a football, the silky maverick who scored some of the greatest goals they ever saw from the time when football meant everything to them – more than their school w
