Alan Murray brought popular striker Lenny Johnrose to Pools in February 1992 as the club flirted with the third division playoffs. Johnrose was a first team regular for the next two years without ever finding the net on a regular basis and he had the misfortune to start each of the club`s record 13 consecutive goalless games in 1993. He left the club later that year but enjoyed a good career in a midfield role at Bury, Burnley and Swansea.
