The only player to play for Boston United in four different divisions (Levels)?

[Richie..p]

Paul Ellender (Football Conference, Football League, Football Conference North and Northern Premier league)?

Am I right?

I can think of a few who have played in three leagues but not four( I mean levels not branded sponsors of the leagues ie. I class Unibond and Dr Martins as the same). I also understand that the Conference North/South have only been around for 5 or 6 years but still its no mean feat!

Mickey Nuttell, Paul Bastock, Gareth Jellyman, Stuart Talbot, Chris Wright, Peter Costello, David Farrell are all examples of three leagues.

[Lord Cutler Knobhead]

Can't think of another, could be an obscure one that pinged back n forth from the club as a kid ( e.g. Dan Cotton) that got a game at all levels on the bench.

[Carl Newell]

Surely Dr Martins should be the same level as Conf North with promotion to the Conference National. Elding played for us in the football league, Confrence National and Dr Martins.

Lakin, Howells, Donovan, Robinson, Roche and Fell were all part of the all conquering team that won the United Counties League, West Midlands League (twice) before appearing in the Northern Premier League.

You can add Lee Canoville to the list of four next season

Can we? League 2, Unidump and BSN. Cape Cannoville arrived after pronotion to the league so won't have played in the nationals.

At a real stretch of the definition you could add 1 onto the players above as occasionally Boston United played in two "leagues" in a season, e.g. in 1958/9 they played in the Interzone League as well as the Southern League North West Zone and in 1968/9 they played in the Eastern Professional Floodlit League as well as the Northern Premier League.

There is always one that has to take it too far.
