Sterland had a habit of scoring great goals. Mel Sterland (1989-93) 146 apps, 20 goals Like a runaway stag party, the Yorkshire Zico stormed up and down the right with a crowd-pleasing zeal. That he did so while always looking slightly overweight only endeared him to the fans all the more. Sterland also had a habit of scoring great goals and was one of those rare players who looked as if he actually enjoyed this pro-football lark.
