Comment
As a young, fast striker with an eye for goal Payton was probably the finest frontman to wear black and amber in the 1990s. A big move to Middlesbrough led quickly to other transfers as his suspect temperament, coupled with family problems, saw him drift from club to club. His goalscoring abilities were never in doubt though, and he went on to ripple the net regularly for his home town club towards the end of his career, which ended in the Summer of 2003 after a quickly aborted move to non-leaguers Stalybridge Celtic.
In 2001-02 he joined Blackpool on loan in hurried fashion after a drink-related car crash culminated in Payton being found by Police semi-clad in his estranged wife's wardrobe.  His excuse?  "I was checking the kids' Christmas presents ... hic!"
Decided to unhang his boots in August 2004 and turned out at the age of 36 for North West Counties League outfit Colne United.
