YORK City and their humbled Manchester United hosts were each restricted to naming just three substitutes in the Coca-Cola Cup competition of a decade ago.

Players from both teams continue to play today, while others have hung their boots up or been forced to retire by injury and age.

Evening Press deputy sports editor TONY KELLY takes a peep at where the men who were on duty on September 20 1995 are now.

Dean Kiely: After leaving York City for Bury in 1997, he later linked up with Charlton Athletic, where he has established himself as one of the top-flight’s best goalkeepers.

Capped 17 times by the Republic of Ireland culminating in making the World Cup finals squad in 2002 before announcing his international retirement. Hit by injury before the start of this season, he is on the verge of reclaiming his Charlton number one jersey.

Andy McMillan: His City career lasted more than a decade in which he made the second-highest number of appearances in club history. Later he moved to Ayr United before giving up the game. He returned to Bootham Crescent last month as part of the new youth coaching set-up and has recently started his own building trade supply company.

Wayne Hall: Another long-serving Minsterman, who twice kept Ryan Giggs in check during the Coca-Cola Cup ties. After finishing with City in 2001, Hall became a prison officer.

Steve Tutill: Captain and another of the local heroes, Tutill had 12 years as a City player. But soon after his testimonial, which attracted a 7,000-plus crowd, he was released by the club. Spent almost two years at Darlington until a knee injury forced him to quit. Now training to be a physical education officer in the prison service.

Tony Barras: Centre-back who bulleted home the third goal at Old Trafford. Crowned clubman of the year in 1996-97, he later moved to Walsall. The Stockton-on-Tees born defender is still playing for Macclesfield in Coca-Cola League Two.

Darren Williams: Had just broken into the City ranks in the weeks before the Coca-Cola trip to Old Trafford. The midfielder-cum-defender moved to Sunderland in 1996 for £50,000 going on to win England Under-21 caps. After a loan spell at Cardiff last season, he is now with Coca-Cola League One Hartlepool.

Nigel Pepper: The midfield heart of City, he enjoyed more than 280 appearances for the Minstermen before enjoying big-money moves to Bradford City and Aberdeen. On his return to England he suffered a fractured leg in his first game for Scunthorpe which eventually cut short his career. Now training to be a physical education teacher.

Scott Jordan: Tipped for a big future at City where he was touted as the club’s best passer of the ball, Jordan was credited with pipping Paul Barnes to get the vital goal in the return leg at Bootham Crescent that effectively killed off Manchester United. He eventually left for neighbouring Scarborough in 2001. He quit the game two years ago at the age of 27.

Graeme Murty: Contemporary of Jordan and Williams who always caught the eye with a series of dynamic displays. His energy down the right flank secured him a £700,000 move to Reading in 1998. Now captains the Royals in their bid to get promoted from the Coca-Cola Championship. Has also been capped by Scotland.

Paul Barnes: Two-goal hero of Old Trafford, Barnes remains a terrace favourite of the City faithful. Like several of his team-mates that night, he went on to better things with a £300,000 move to Birmingham in 1996 and then for a similar amount to Burnley soon after. Also had a spell at Doncaster Rovers before this year quitting the game after joining Alfreton. Now runs a financial brokerage firm.

Nicky Peverell: The surprise front-line partner of Barnes, Peverell was in his first full season at City when he played against Manchester United.

Named City’s man of the match in the Bootham Crescent return, ‘Pev’ never again hit the heights and moved in 1996 to non-League Gateshead.

Subsequent spells followed at Bishop Auckland and Barrow, where a snapped Achilles ended his striking days. Now on the coaching staff at Middlesbrough.

Substitutes

Paul Baker: Battering-ram striker with no little skill, his endeavours at Old Trafford lasted a mere seven minutes before he was sent off for a second bookable offence. After spurning a coaching role at City, he moved to Torquay before going back to his native North-East with Hartlepool. Recently appointed manager of Northern League side Benfield Saints.

Paul Atkin: Centre-back who played in the Wembley promotion-winning side of 1993 only to then lose his place to Steve Tutill. After five years at the Crescent, he joined Scarborough but, after an unhappy spell there, quit the game to become a driving instructor based in Pocklington.

Andy Warrington: Unused at Old Trafford, he was thrown in for a memorable debut in the return against Cantona, Scholes, Cole et al. Acquitted himself well, but never endeared himself to a fickle set of City fans. Made a greater impact for Doncaster Rovers for whom he still plays, sharing in several promotion triumphs.
