Just a roofer from Liverpool.

Growing up in Liverpool one of the main sources of entertainment for children is kicking a ball around. It’s a football mad city. Whether you’re a red or a blue, football dominates.

For a young Craig Noone the dream of becoming a professional seemed to be slipping away. Released from Wrexham at the age of 17 he became a roofer and ploughed his footballing furrow in the local non-league scene.

His big break came when Paul Sturrock saw enough in him to be classed as one of those special “wee nuggets” and his professional career began at Home Park.

Brighton, Cardiff and the Premier League followed for the talented winger, before a move to the opposite side of the world and Australia was the closing curtain on a remarkable career.

This is the story of Craig Noone.
