Anyone know anything about this guy?
I heard that he was part of the youth team at
Liverpool, but left for
Accrington Stanley in September 2001 after realising he did not have a future at
Anfield.
He was appointed as
captain soon after joining in 2001, and scored 22 goals in 226 league games in an eight-year career. He skippered the club to the Northern Premier League Cup and
Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy in 2002, the
Northern Premier League title in
2002–03, and
Conference National title in
2005–06.
Ban from football[edit]
In July 2009, Accrington players
Jay Harris,
Robert Williams,
David Mannix, and
Andrew Mangan received 5–12-month bans for betting against their own club.
[3] Cavanagh's case was held at a later date.

FA for breaching betting rules, being alleged to have placed a £5 bet on Accrington losing to
Bury in the last match of the 2008–09 season. Bury won the match 2–0.
[5] On 10 August 2009, he was fined £3,500 and suspended from competitive football for eight months.
