Lincoln City are currently flying towards a spot in League One, riding the crest of a wave that started the day Danny and Nicky Cowley touched down at Sincil Bank.

Their National League days seem a long way behind them, lost in the mists of two trophies in successive seasons. However, before the National League win, the FA Cup quarter final and the EFL Trophy victory, there was years of struggle.

One such year was 2014/15. Manager Gary Simpson had assembled a decent squad in the non-league scene, but they were struggling to find a foothold in the division. Relegation, a real possibility in their first couple of years at the level, had been fought off but promotion was a long way away.

Their transfer policy was restricted to loan players and free transfers, one of which was Birmingham City midfielder Charlee Adams. Adams came from Birmingham City's development side, along with Koby Arthur who now plies his trade with Macclesfield.

The cultured youngster lit up Sincil Bank with a series of committed and skilful displays, but perhaps his most eye-catching moment came away at rivals Grimsby Town just after Christmas.

The Imps were searching for their first double over their rivals since 1976. They'd secured a 3-2 win at Sincil Bank in September, but now needed to complete the job.

Craig Disley gave the home side the lead and the Imps looked doomed. They hadn't won away since August and were second best for the opening exchanges.

Then, Adams lit up Blundell Park like Blackpool illuminations with a wonder-strike that is still revered today.

His goal sparked an Imps revival and within minutes, Alan Power made it 2-1. Marcus Marshall added another in the second half and the Imps had one memory of the pre-Cowley era they could look upon fondly.

Adams' promising career was blighted by injury, a loan spell at Kilmarnock ended after three games when a horror challenge left his tibia visible through a gaping wound. Upon returning to Birmingham, he suffered medial ligament damage and couldn't get back to full form.

He's not with Barnet in the National League, but as Lincoln move onwards and upwards, they'll always remember his special moment against their bitter rivals.
