Bronco Laynes Squirrel Cafe, 1960s

[St Petre 85]

Jim Standen also played cricket for Worcestershire, I think the scot you are thinking of is Laurie Leslie, the keeper who let seven in against the Owls was Noel Dwyer. I was there.

 

Yes, Laurie Leslie was the Scotsman and yes Irishman Noel Dwyer, did he let 7 in that day of 6 ? Was it 1960 or 1961 ?

Going back to the goalies of the 60s what about Bob Wilson of Arsenal, He may be a Scottish international but he was born in Chesterfield.

 

Non English goalies of the 60's, Pat Jennings not bad either.

It was seven, Fantham 2, Wilkinson,Finney 2, Bobby Craig, and Ellis, on the 28Nov , 1959. Don,t ever remember hitting six past them around that time.

I recall some new paper photos at the time of some of the goals and the North Stand being under construction but that was after 1959 so I must be thinking of another game.

The North stand opened in 61 , so i would be under constuction at that time.

Bob Wilson could hardly be called non English, unless of course you regard Chesterfield as an independent state lol . If you want to go Irish you have to go no further than Harry Gregg, the daddy of them all at 85 years old.

I have nothing against Bob Wilson of the town of Chesterfield (I worked in the area for years.) My comment should have said Blritish goalies who did not play for England.

Threads just evolve sometimes and get a life of their own, how much mileage are we going to get about a 1960s cafe owned by a local football hero if we don't talk about him and his peers of that time lol
