JOE WOJCIECHOWICZ  1985 - 1988

Click Here For Roll of Honour

The appointment of Joe Wojciechowicz was felt by fans to be the final seal of the Board of Directors on a more progressive attitude to the advancement of the club, along with a new Chairman. Joe as a player was a mid-fielder, being an apprentice at Blackpool. Then he was a reserve player at Morecambe Football Club during 1973-76, making six 1st team appearances. He went on to play for both Lancaster City and Barrow. Joe also became coach at both of these clubs and manager of Workington. 

Joining the coaching staff at Barrow Joe left after Brian Kidd took his first steps in managership by taking control there and brought his own staff in. Joe was appointed as Manager of Morecambe Football Club in early 1985 and had three very successful seasons, with the club reaching the Lancashire (ATS) Junior Cup final three times, winning it twice. Some say these finals restored belief amongst both fans and the club in general that the club could be a success and reach new heights. Sadly the league title was always just beyond Joe's reach. He resigned at the end of the 1987-88 season to join Colne Dynamoes as full-time coach as they made their abortive bid to join the big time, taking a good number of players with him.
