Not many stories here. This is a number that has been worn by loads of players who, just as they looked like they were going to get established, left.
I remember Kenny McKie well, a smashing lad and a good player to boot. In our block at the old place we had a whip round and sponsored him one season, and he always made a point of giving us a wave at the end of games. Fond memories of singing AC/DC songs with him on the coach back from away games, and eating kebabs with fearsome amounts of chilli.
In his first incarnation Darren Durdle was a key part of Alex’s then revolutionary concept of going with one import forward and two import defencemen. Of course it helped that Durdle’s physique (beanpole) and long stick meant that for any forward coming up the ice it was like trying to stickhandle past a JCB. It also helped that the sole import forward was Paul Adey.
More recently the number has graced the immense shoulders of Kristian Taubert and was also taken by the excellent Ian Moran, who revived the art of the hip check, long forgotten in this country and in my view one of the most enjoyable plays in hockey.
