Prompted by the questions in a quiz posed recently, I seem to recall Ian Botham turning out for Scunthorpe for a few games, whilst he was an England cricketer. Yes, it happened - and I remember he was on the bench for a game at Ninian Park, but did he get on the pitch?
Don't know, although his grandson was born in Cardiff. I know that doesn't help
As TOBW says above he only played 11 times for Scunthorpe and never against us. He wasn't as great at football as he was at cricket, barely making the Scunthorpe team. Mind you I never even played for Scunthorpe.
