Connections | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Down the years, there have been many players (and managers) that have had links with both clubs. In the 1980s, there was a long list of players who played for both sides. George Kerr, like Keith Alexander - had two spells in charge of Lincoln. He was sacked after just a year in 1978 before he joined Town and again from 1985-1987, resulting in Lincoln's relegation from the football league in 1987.

Last Meeting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The last time the two sides met was little under a month ago in a 0-0 draw at Sincil Bank. Many Town fans felt that they were robbed, however, when Town scored a last minute “goal†that was disallowed for a mysterious handball.
