Vastly-experienced Flynn took over the captaincy in Mark Blake's absence after putting pen to paper on a year's deal before the first 2002/03 league game with Lincoln.

The influential central or right-sided midfielder is known for his tough tackling and will to win, having spent several seasons in the Premier League.

Flynn went from non-league Halesowen Town to Coventry City at the age of 23 and played 97 league games for them, many at the highest level, before Derby County paid £225,000 for his services in 1995.

He won promotion with Derby to the Premier League before a £260,000 fee took him to West Brom two years later.

Flynn was also a popular figure at the Hawthorns in more than 100 league appearances and at Tranmere where he was released to in 2000.

But part of the cost-cutting measures made him a free agent in the summer of 2002 and he rejected interest from other clubs to take over as skipper for Ian Britton at Harriers.

Flynn then penned another year's deal before season 2003/04 with his experience helping out a young team.
