The FPA guests for Friday's home game against AFC Wimbledon are host Matt Carmichael, Paul Miller, Jason Lee, Terry Cooper and Tony Cunningham.
Matt Carmichael
Matt Carmichael was signed by Colin Murphy in August 1989.
At the time he was planning to join the Met Police after having previously served in the British Army but Colin offered him a professional contract and his career changed track.
He was initially used as a striker and scored on his debut against Scunthorpe United but later converted to centre back.
He was voted the supporters player of the season in 1991-92 and made over 150 first team appearances before moving on to Scunthorpe in July 1993.
Matt later played for Preston, Mansfield, Doncaster and Darlington. Matt is vice chairman of the Former Players Association.

Jason Lee
Jason Lee began his football career as a trainee with Charlton Athletic before Steve Thompson signed him for the Imps in March 1991.
He quickly developed into a very effective striker both as a goalscorer and a creator of chances and was a regular in the team.
He was leading scorer in 1992-93 and was then sold to Southend United for a six-figure fee.
Jason went on to play for clubs including Nottingham Forest, Watford, Peterborough and Notts County, finishing with a career total of over 500 senior appearances.

Terry Cooper
Terry Cooper initially signed for City in December 1971 on loan from Notts County. He went back to Meadow Lane after making three appearances for the Imps but in the summer of 1972 he made a permanent move to Sincil Bank.
Terry, who started out playing in midfield, switched to centre-back with great success and went on to play almost 300 first team games for City.
He was a key member of the 1975-76 team which won the Division Four championship and was twice voted Player of the Season by the supporters.
Terry left Sincil Bank in the summer of 1979 and later played for Bradford City and Rochdale.

Tony Cunningham
Tony Cunningham was a powerful striker who was brought to Lincoln by Colin Murphy from non-league club Stourbridge in May 1979.
He made an instant impact on his debut in a League Cup tie against Barnsley when he was up against the former England defender Norman Hunter. Tony had too much pace and power for the ex-England man and marked his first City game with a goal.
Tony remained a regular first team player during his three full seasons at Sincil Bank and finished as leading scorer with 15 league and cup goals in 1981-82 when the Imps narrowly missed out on promotion to second tier football.
He was sold to Barnsley in September 1982 and and made 40 league appearances for the Reds scoring 11 goals before joining Sheffield Wednesday in November 1983.
Tony later played for clubs including Manchester City and Newcastle United making a total of almost 500 senior appearances before ending his career with Wycombe Wanderers. One of his sons Karl later also played for the Imps.
