FPA guests v MK Dons

The FPA guests for Tuesday's fixture against MK Dons are Phil Hubbard, Lee Beevers, Matt Carmichael and John Hawley.

Before the game the FPA will be presenting a signed shirt to six-year-old Imps season membership holder Oscar in the Legends Lounge to add to his bedroom collection of Lincoln City memorabilia.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation recently transformed Oscar's bedroom to display his many Imps souvenirs. Oscar is the grandson of former Imps youth team player Andy Ottewell.

Phil Hubbard

Phil Hubbard is a Lincoln born player who was one of the Imps’ first apprentices following the introduction of a youth set-up in the mid-1960s. He made his initial appearances for the club as a forward but played in several different positions including right back and left-half during his time at Sincil Bank. He became a regular first team player in 1968-69 and finished as leading scorer in 1970-71 when he was voted Player of the Season. Phil continued to score regularly in 1971-72 and by Christmas had 18 goals including a hat-trick in a memorable 4-1 win over Blackburn Rovers in the League Cup. Phil was then sold to Norwich City, then in the Second Division. He moved on to play for Grimsby Town before returning to Sincil Bank in August 1976. He spent three further seasons with City and had a spell playing in the USA before signing for Boston United in November 1979. He is involved with our Former Players Association as a committee member and is also co-manager of the Lincoln City Legends team along with Matt Carmichael.
