Alan Harris is the latest player to be added to the AFC Telford United Hall of Fame, the third entry of 2010.

Harris, who played more than 700 games for the club, joined the then Wellington Town from Wolves in 1967 and stayed for the next 14 years.

Harris played at Wembley for Telford in the 1970 and 1971 FA Trophy finals.

In his early days he was an inside forward and scored in four rounds of the Trophy when Telford got to Wembley in 1970 before losing to Macclesfield.

But he was there again a year later when the Bucks beat Hillingdon.

Just one more name will be revealed before they, along with Harris, Frank Childs and Sean Parrish, are inducted into the Hall of Fame on 3 November.

They will join existing Telford 'legends' who include legendary goal scorer Jack Bentley, and former manager Stan Storton who oversaw Telford's FA Cup giant killing exploits in the 1980s.

"Alan will be a popular choice as one of the longest serving Bucks in history," Jonathan Martin from the Supporters' Trust told BBC Radio Shropshire.
