Memory Lane: The night that Morecambe swept aside Stockport County
This week, we’re heading back to November 2010 when the Shrimps ran out 5-0 winners as they came up against Stockport County.
This was how we described the action that night...
Morecambe secured their second home win of the season with a comprehensive victory over struggling Stockport.

Jevons was on the scoresheet after just eight minutes from the penalty spot following a handball on the line from Jake Simpson which saw the midfielder shown a red card.
Stockport hit back bravely and had a brief period on top, with top scorer George Donnelly firing wide on two occasions and Jordan Rose seeing a header cleared off the line.
That proved to be a small show of defiance as Morecambe scored twice in quick succession to take a 3-0 lead into the break.
