Paddy Kenny had another excellent campaign in goal for Bury in 2000-01 and, for the second season in a row, he was an ever-present in the first team.

He produced some fine performances in the early part of the season, saving a penalty in the game at Oxford United in September and enjoying a spell when he conceded just one goal in 568 minutes of football.

An excellent shot stopper and in possession of an enormous kick, Paddy remained an outstanding prospect for the Shakers before going on the Gigg Lane transfer list in January 2002.

Paddy rejoined his former Shakers boss Neil Warnock at Sheffield United in July 2002 on a three month loan before clinching a permanent move.

His Blades contract was extended to June 2009 in November 2005, then to June 2010 in July 2007.

Paddy was made available for transfer in December 2008 before his Blades contract was extended to June 2011 in November 2009.

He joined Queens Park Rangers in June 2010 with a three-year contract.

Paddy joined Leeds United in July 2012 with a three-year contract that was cancelled in August 2014.

He joined Ipswich Town in January 2015 with a four-month contract.

Paddy joined Rotherham United in February 2016 with a contract to June 2016.
