I knew a lad, Geoff Young who played for Club 62. Around 1969 he went to live in Torquay.

 

Somebody told me he was harbourmaster there.

Yes Jim, I know that when Geoff- a drinking friend of mine- moved there in the late '60s he worked in one of Torquay's 'smarter' hotels. Supposed to be a summer only job but did so well they kept him on and even becoming a manager at one or others later. As he never relocated to Sheffield, not sure what happened after the Hostelries trade. Not bad going for a lad who had no previous experience in that business !

I worked the season there in 1971. Youngy used to disappear into the undergrowth at Beacon Cove and a couple of minutes later come flying out at the top and into the sea. Not quite Elvis at Acapulco but impressive nonetheless. :)

Would one of them be Carl Shutt, a Handsworth lad I think. Who played for Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United -both times under Howard Wilkinson- and Birmingham City ?
