CLITHEROE boss Carl Garner has added former Blues manager Lee Sculpher to his management team.
Sculpher was player/assistant to Dave Burgess in 2000/01.
In their first season together, the pair guided the Blues to runners-up in the North West Counties League Premier Division and the FA Vase semi-final.
Sculpher took over in the hotseat the following season, and again led Clitheroe to second place in the league, before losing 2-1 to Mossley in the League Cup final at Bury’s Gigg Lane ground.
But Sculpher’s persistence paid off, and Clitheroe were crowned NWCL Premier Division champions on the final day of the 2003/04 campaign, after a late goal from Neil Reynolds sealed a 3-2 victory at Nantwich Town, and the title.
“I’ve got Lee Sculpher on board now,” Garner said.
“He’s managed Clitheroe successfully in the past, and gained promotion with the club from the North West Counties.
“He will certainly add value to the club. He’s already put some markers down for the players, and he’s generally sharpening the side up.
“He’s putting some parameters in for the young players, and they’ve all taken what he’s had to say on board
