Holverton came close to sign Steve Marks. In 1980-81 Matt Johnson, while scouting at Stockbridge Town, Johnson bumped into Steve Marks who was watching his brother Terry Marks in action for Town. The eccentric Holverton manager tricked Steve into believing that Kingsbay had accepted a bid from big spending Stambridge City, the striker was furious again clashing with Turnball. For a while it looked like Matt Johnson would get his man, but thanks to Terry's suspicion and the help of a local journalist friend, the plot was exposed and Steve return to the first team..[1]
