Words John Edwards | Picture Michael Ripley

On the sixth day of our build-up to Stuart Coburn's testimonial, we are bringing you the final batch of pen pictures from the Altrincham 2005 squad who will take on their 2014 counterparts at The J.Davidson Stadium on Sunday July 28th.

The match kicks off at 3.30pm next Sunday (Golf Road turnstiles open at 2:30pm), and you can make sure of your place at a not-to-be-missed celebration of Stuart's club record 689 appearances between the posts for the Robins by clicking here to buy tickets.

Here are the final few names from the 2005 squad as we head towards what will be a special, nostalgia-packed afternoon, kindly sponsored by Jones Contracts, with tickets priced at just £5 for adults and £2 for under-18s.

KIERAN AND KELVIN LUGSDEN - the twins arrived together at Alty after joining us from New Mills in April 2003. Kieran was a pacy striker with an excellent first touch who made his debut as a substitute in a Unibond League Cup tie at Workington in November 2003.

Whether selected in the starting line-up or joining the fray from the bench, he was always a lively, energetic frontrunner with an eye for goal.

Kelvin, the younger of the two by all of 10 minutes, was a left-back who could also operate in midfield and even occasionally slotted in at centre-back. He made his senior debut in the same cup tie as his brother, also as a substitute.

ANTHONY DANYLYK - a solid, diminutive but dependable central midfielder, Anthony worked his way through the youth ranks at his home club Stoke City and came to the attention of Alty for the way he skippered Leek Town, from where he joined the Robins in June 2008.

A wholehearted competitor, he stepped up two divisions to the Blue Square Premier with consummate ease and could always be counted on to give 100 per cent at the heart of Alty's midfield. Left the club in December 2011 after making 130+21 appearances and scoring three goals.

SEAN SMITH - joined Alty after being voted the Eccles Sunday League's player of the year for 2001-02 and was handed his league debut by Graham Heathcote away to Burscough in October 2002.

Sean was just establishing himself on the left of Alty's midfield when he had the misfortune to suffer a broken leg in a car accident the following February. He worked his way back to full fitness and was back in action for the Robins in January 2004.

DANNY MURPHY - an impressive performance for Mossley against Alty in the FA Cup led to the talented, speedy winger becoming a Robins player in 2000, and he made a goalscoring debut in October that year against Leek Town.

He had to contend with his share of injuries over the following couple of seasons, not least a ruptured cruciate ligament which kept him out of the 2003-04 campaign.

A favourite with many Alty fans for his wing play and heading ability, he had 86 starts and 17 substitute appearances and scored 17 goals over the course of five years at Moss Lane.

RYAN BROWN - made an impressive 44 first-team appearances in the Football League for Port Vale before being released shortly after his 20th birthday.

Left-back Ryan had four years at Northwich Vics before joining Alty in February 2010, initially on loan but making the move permanent at the end of that season. Left Alty to join Stafford Rangers in January 2012, following the Robins' New Year's Day game at Droylsden. He made 62+17 appearances for Alty in two years and scored one goal.

STUART WRIGHT - signed by Alty from Vauxhall Motors in November, 2003, Stuart was equally at home on the left of midfield or up front and further underlined his versatility by filling in at left-back when Chris Adams picked up an injury.

Left Alty in October 2004 but only after making a contribution Robins fans will remember fondly in January that year, when he headed his side in front after only eight minutes with his first goal for the club in a notable 2-0 FA Trophy win away to Weymouth.
