Kenny signed for the Blues from Gretna in July 1992 but then moved to Spennymoor a year later. He returned in March 1996 and would pick up two league titles and the FA Vase before leaving for Dunston in July 1999. Overall, he scored 22 goals in 167 appearances.

The first time I joined Whitby was when Bob Scaife was the manager. We won the league in 1993. I then joined Gretna the following season and we won the league. Again because of the pyramid system and finances, I joined Spennymoor and won the league in the next tier. I was released after a couple of seasons with them and Harry was the first to approach me and tempted me to join Whitby again.

The only difference I can think of, the second time around, was that there seemed a more relaxed atmosphere in the changing room. The experience and youth and the quality manager that we had, I was in no doubt we would be up there. It was probably a manager's dream [having so many experienced players]. It might've been a bit different if things weren't so rosy, I suppose.

I have some terrific memories from Whitby including the Hull City FA Cup fames. All I can remember was that I made a fantastic tackle on Duane Darby in the first leg at Scarborough and thought he would be out for the replay, but he came back to haunt us. The support we got in the replay was unbelievable. We thought we had just pipped them, but we were absolutely knackered in extra time - great memories though. Funny, I was just watching the highlights of the game last week but I couldn't even remember who scored, but I can remember that the conditions were horrible in the first game.

I travelled with John Borthwick, Yakka, and Alan Martin - all poolies to games .The craic in the changing room was fantastic as we had some great characters and big personalities. We all played in the local leagues in different teams and went out together with the wives and with the lads, so the craic was always good.
