Ware played a major role in 1992–93 which saw Stoke win the Second Division title before he was sold to Stockport County in September 1994.
In 2018 a street was named in his honour on the Victoria Park housing development built on the former Stoke City Football Ground.
Ware was born in Congleton and started his career in Stoke City's youth team before being handed a professional contract in 1987.
[1] He then joined Stockport County in September 1994 and spent three years at Edgeley Park which ended with him helping the club gain promotion in 1996–97.
He then played on loan for Nuneaton Borough and ended his professional career with Rochdale before making a return to Hednesford Town.
He was an honest, genuine person and player who was very popular with the supporters, probably even more so after he scored that goal at Peterborough to get us to Wembley.
