It's fair to say the history of Chester FC players to have also played for Lincoln City is a chequered one.

So as the sides prepare to face each other at the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium on Saturday, we have taken a look back at some of those who turned out for the Blues and the Imps in the last 20 years or so.

As this list shows, some made much more of an impression than others.

Simon Yeo

Former solider Yeo enjoyed two successful spells at Sincil Bank between 2002 and 2006, scoring 42 goals in 134 league appearances.

His form earned him a move to Peterborough United in 2006. But his time with the Posh didn't go according to plan and he joined Chester City, under the stewardship of Mark Wright, in January 2007.

He spent a year with the Blues and was a regular starter, netting eight goals in 35 league appearances before moving to Macclesfield Town.

Craig Hobson

The only current member of the Chester squad to have played for the Imps, Blues striker Hobson played 12 times for the Sincil Bank side while on loan from Stockport County in early 2013.

His spell with Lincoln wasn't a prolific one. He made 12 appearances, seven of them off the substitutes bench, and netted a solitary strike in a 2-0 win at Alfreton Town.

Kevin Sandwith

Left-back Sandwith joined Chester in 2006 and went on to play over 50 times for the Blues after joining from Macclesfield Town.

He spent a season with the Imps prior to his time at Moss Rose, making 40 appearances during the 2004-05 season, netting twice.

Dave Felgate

Goalkeeper Felgate was a popular figure between the sticks during a two-year stay with the Blues between 1993 and 1995, making 72 league appearances. He was a mainstay of the Chester side that won promotion to Division Two at the end of the 1993-94 season.

But he was also a revered figure at Sincil Bank where he made almost 200 league appearances between 1980 and 1985 for the Lincolnshire outfit. Long spells at Bolton as well as time with Grimsby Town and Cardiff City came inbetween his time with Lincoln and Chester.

Justin Walker

Keith Curle signed midfielder Walker at the start of the 2005/06 season but he failed to nail down a regular spot in the centre of the park. He made 21 appearances for the Blues and was released at the end of the season and signed for Ilkeston.

But he enjoyed a far happier spell at Sincil Bank as he was a regular starter during his two year stint between 2000 and 2002. He made 76 league appearances for the Imps scoring four times.
