Having made around 350 career appearances, John Cornforth was arguably one of the best playmakers on the books of Exeter City but his appearances were severely restricted in 2000-01 by a persistent calf injury.
His experience and excellent distribution were invaluable for the Grecians when he was able to play although he failed to find the net during the campaign.
He was appointed player-coach at St James Park in October 2000.
