GLYNN GARNER: Missed a chunk of the season with a knee injury. His decision to join Orient on two-year deal will be even bigger blow 7

MATT BARRASS: Loyal club man whose catalogue of injuries finally ended his career at Gigg Lane 6

PAUL SCOTT : Started and finished the season well. Dependable and solid 6

DAVE CHALLINOR: Captain provided vital experience and leadership when going got tough after Christmas 7

COLIN WOODTHORPE: Dreadful disciplinary record in first half of season but always gave 100 per cent 7

TOM KENNEDY: Played more games than anyone else last season. Could become another Shakers stalwart like dad Keith 6

LEE UNSWORTH: Another whose enthusiasm is never questioned but should brush up on his crossing 6

D WAYNE MATTIS: Player of the year and deservedly so. Will be a major player next season if he stays fit 8

DAVE FLITCROFT: Graham Barrow loyalist and, despite his fiercesome reputation on the pitch, a smashing bloke 7

BRIAN BARRY-MURPHY: 'My Left Foot' could have been penned for the Irishman whose best form returned in the last few months 7

TERRY DUNFIELD: Complex Canadian whose season was wrecked by a knee injury after Christmas 6

SIMON WHALEY: What a transformation. Mediocre in first half of season but magnificent in second 7

COLIN KAZIM-RICHARDS: Goal of the season against Cheltenham and has potential to be real star 7

JON NEWBY: Bury fans only saw glimpses of the real Jon Newby but young enough to become a force again soon 6

CHRIS PORTER: A willing worker and promising striker who has attracted interest from rival clubs 7

DAVID NUGENT: Nobody expected Nugent to make the impact he has at Preston after his '100,000 in January. Now could net the Shakers a welcome windfall 8
