The Lok Programme recently caught up with one of the Junior game's finest central defenders, Derek Heaton. Of course, Derek, 26, joined Lok from today's visitors Johnstone Burgh so lets see how much they thought they knew about the man who played a vital part in helping them to the Central League championship in 2002.
