Ex-Telford United player Trevor Storton dies
Friday 25th March 2011, 11:26AM GMT.
Former Liverpool defender Trevor Storton – who was a member of Telford United’s 1989 FA Trophy winning side and also played for and managed Oswestry Town – has died.
Yorkshireman Storton, 61, passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Storton was signed by Liverpool and legendary manager Bill Shankly from Tranmere.
He was never able to establish himself as a regular at Anfield, but his involvement with Liverpool’s 1973 Uefa Cup run was enough to earn him a winner’s medal.
In 1974 he moved to Chester, where he clocked up 468 games. After 10 years at Sealand Road, Storton took the caretaker-manager’s position at Chester, but quit in 1984.
But he was quickly back in football as player-manager at Oswestry Town, then in the Northern Premier League.
After leaving Oswestry, he answered a call from his brother Stan to play under him at Telford, with whom he won an FA Trophy winner’s medal in 1989.
After a year-long stint in Lancashire with Chorley, he then worked with a number of sides back in his native Yorkshire, most notably at Bradford Park Avenue.
His stint at Chester made Storton a legend at the club, his league appearance record of 396 games proving the third-best in the club’s history.

What a player, a great addition to our relitively young and inexperieced team. Trevor brought a great understanding and knowledge of the game, a true Professional even then, he loved the game with a Passion.
I personally learned a great deal from him. My thoughts and condolences go to his family.
