After falling into a financial mire, Bury were dramatically expelled from the Football League on Tuesday night and dempster said: “It was awful.

“I have competed against them over the years as a player and I have watched our first team compete against them over the last four years.

“They have always been an old school, good League Two, sometimes League One, football club in the time I've known them.

“So to see their demise is shocking really.

“It's something that shouldn't happen with the money in the game.

“I am sorry for the people at that club, the players, but in particular the supporters.”
