samssong Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Does any one remember when the Owls borrowed Woodseats WMC goalkeeper Due to both Springett and Grummitt being injured:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpetre Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Perhaps not the same game but I recall an FA Cup game at Hillsborough in early 1967, the Owls v Mansfield Town. Ron Springett was taken ill not long before the kick-off. The second choice goalie Peter Wicks, was away with the reserves so Wednesday had to call up the youth team goalie who was sat in the South stand. I think his name was Gary Scothorn (?) and the Owls won that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORE Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yes, I remember all those keepers playing for us and saw the home matches, and maybe their away ones. 1972 - Trevor Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALAN 58 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The Owls have usually had decent keepers during the fifty seven years i,ve been watching football, and the Blades have had there share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpetre Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) The Owls have usually had decent keepers during the fifty seven years i,ve been watching football, and the Blades have had there share. Owls and 'decent keepers' in fifty seven years Alan, (about my time span too.) How many would you put above 'decent' ? For me : Ron Springett, Bob Bolder, Chris Turner, Martin Hodge and Kieron Westwood, Peter Springett (??). may have missed a few as not lived in Sheffield for a few years. ---------- Post added 30-01-2017 at 18:34 ---------- He was 16 and kept a clean sheet. Youngest ever was Peter Fox at 15 who went on to have a long career with Stoke. With respect to some of the goalies mentioned, what about thse that were there in barren years before Ronnie Springett came : Dave Mcintosh, Charlie Pllu, Brian Ryalls, Roy McLaren and who can forget Mike (Oops !) Pinner ? ---------- Post added 30-01-2017 at 18:36 ---------- Yes, I remember all those keepers playing for us and saw the home matches, and maybe their away ones. 1972 - Trevor Pearson. The 1970's wasn't a great time to be watching the Owls ! Edited January 30, 2017 by stpetre Spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakes Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Woodseats WMC clubs goalkeeper. A lighthearted view. Mark Pearson TREVOR PEARSON John Pearson Nigel Pearson Adam Pearson. It seems SWFC used to go to the Castle(boy) Market to recruit staff. It ap-pears they saw lots of pears-on the stalls, and decided to buy them for an undisclosed fee. That certainly gives one fruit-for-thought. According to Chillax in post 5, Trevor Pearson played 4 times for Sheff Wed, then returned to Kiveton Park, which is near to Woodsetts. Is there a WMC in Woodsetts? Does Woodseats WMC still apply? I wonder why Trevor Parson walked-out on the Owls after only 4 games. Was he sett in his ways? Peter Springett Peter Wicks Peter Grummitt Peter Fox. I wonder if Wednesday had any other goalies called Peter in years gone by. I presume the 4 goalies mentioned all had a safe pear of hands, afterall, a safe is at times called a Peter. Am I mistaked in thinking that Peter Eustace, or possibly Peter Atherton may have gone in goal during a game when the proper goalie had gotten injured? I have a slight rememberance of this happening. ____________________________________ Anyway, I’ll pare this post off now, because there’ll be at least a pair of owls on here sayin I’m STEERING towards tiddle-taking.
