Is there anywhere that could give me a comprehensive list of players who were on the books at PNE during 1980's/1990's ?

I have been to their official website but couldn't seem to find anything that went back quite that far.

Thanks.

I have a complete collection of Rothmans yearbooks from 1971 to the present day.
These include every player that was on the books of every club in the English and Scottish leagues.
Let me know who you were after or what season and I'll let you know.

Cheers mightyWBA !
The player I am looking for is either Allan HENSHAW/Allan HARLEY, (same bloke I'm just not sure which name he chose to play under).
It is definitely PNE but I don't know if he was on their books as a lad, or as a mature (?!) player.

No one under either name made a first team appearance for PNE.

I have checked every PNE squad since 1971 and found no record of either name.
However,the Rothmans only listed full time players until the early 80's and then listed trainees.
Since 1988 they have listed trainees,schoolboys and associated schoolboys.
There is nothing to suggest that Henshaw/Harley was never there on trial or as an apprentice/schoolboy before 1988 but certainly haven't been since.
