BRIGG AREA FOOTBALLER WHO PLAYED AT TOP LEVEL IN ENGLAND & SCOTLAND

A conversation among regulars in the Black Bull pub, Brigg, recently centred on the following question which would surely tax even the most ardent sports quiz experts:
Which professional footballer, whose family has strong links with Brigg, played for Bradford City, when they were in the top flight, Millwall and Partick Thistle?
This defender also turned out, in league football, on both sides of the border for Barnet, Birmingham City, Peterborough United, Burnley, Dunfermline Athletic, Alloa Athletic, Berwick Rangers and Elgin City.
If your answer was Richard Huxford, many congratulations.
His Scottish Premier League debut came in 1998 - at Celtic.
Richard's first game in the English League was in 1992/3 and his last, in Scotland, during 2006/7.
