Tranmere story
Liverpool-born defender Dave Higgins first represented Tranmere Rovers in the early 1980s. After spells with South Liverpool and Caernarfon Town, he returned to Prenton Park in 1987 and became a long-serving member of the side through a successful period under manager John King.
Higgins later finished his playing career with Barrow. His association with Rovers continued after retirement through supporter and community activity.
