The £10k "fan package" offer was quickly snapped up by local businessman James Gorfin, a lifelong Macclesfield fan - though, sadly for him, his dream of playing for his beloved team was over almost as soon as it began.

Having come on as an impact sub in the second half, Gorfin managed a full ten minutes of action before over-stretching to reach a cross into the box and pulling his groin.

He then limped off the field in agony as his wife and two kids applauded him down the tunnel.
