Career
Winstanley began his career at Bolton Wanderers, making his debut under then manager Phil Neal. He played on the winning side at Wembley in 1989 in the Football League Trophy final.[2] He was instrumental in Bolton's cup-runs of the early nineties and saw the club back into the second tier of English football in 1993. He then moved on to Burnley where he also made over 100 appearances, before playing for a string of other clubs in the lower divisions, and finishing his career with non-league Southport.
In April 2020, he told The Bolton News that he had a life saving bone marrow transplant operation for leukaemia after being diagnosed in 2018. [3]
