Darren Baker. A 1 club player since 1992 and hence record appearance maker with a total never likely to be equaled. Solid, dependable, committed, but missed possibly the biggest day in the clubs history, the Conference Play-off Final at Stoke City, with a serious arm injury received just weeks previous.
