Heeps always had the ability but never took the fitness bit seriously, would always come into a fresh season carrying to much weight, i think one year he spent the pre season training with Scott.N and he was the fittest and slimmest he'd ever been and had a decent season that year, a shame really coz he was a joy to watch flying round Foxhall and few inches from the fence.

Marks first 3 full seasons were not in the Top League they were in the National League (2 for Hackney 1 for Ipswich) couple of guest meetings in Top League in these seasons.Kings Lynn were his first full season Top League.

Its bizarre with Heeps when he started out with Mildenhall big things were expected but it never really panned out for the lad.

My memory is a bit hazy on this Gavan as I stopped going in 1992 but I thought Mark started with Hackney in the old national league and then Lynn signed him as a reserve in the Bill Barker days poss 89 or 1990 I haven't googled and as it's nigh on 35 year ago I could well be wrong.

Screen went straight into the top-flight with Belle Vue as a 16-year-old in 1989. I'd rate him better than Loram.
