Those players are: Gordon Nisbet, John Uzzell, Chris Harrison, Leigh Cooper, Tommy Tynan, Andy Rogers and Mark Rowe.

Leigh Cooper also had a spell managing Saltash United. Also included in Argyle’s squad are former Arsenal goalkeeper Rhys Wilmot, Darren Tallon, Doug Anderson, Mark Damerell and Steve Davey. Borough’s squad will comprise of local players who worn the Borough shirt at some time during the ten years of the club. These will include the likes of Karl Arrowsmith, Kevin Fedrick, Shaun O’Melia, Rocky O’Rourke, Dave Rowse, Kevin Squires and Lee Stapleton who all played in the 1998/99 season and players from later seasons such as Martin Croft, Peter Footitt, Lee Manuel, Chris Pierce-Jones and James Prynn right up to current players Shane Blanks and Andy Wright. Goalkeeping duties be shared by two local legends in Gary Homer and Richard Keith. Current managers Steve Brown and Alistair Sampson will also be making an appearance.
