I can only think of John Stones (Everton/Man.City) and Tommy Taylor (Man Utd) both of whom had left the club by then and Danny Blanchflower (N.Ireland) was a former Barnsley player but never capped while there, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yes Donny Rovers but the only really good players I remember with them are Alec Jeffrey and Harry Gregg unless I can be enlightened on more recent ones (Charlie Williams ?). Doncaster is in South Yorkshire but Leeds and Huddersfield are in West Yorkshire. Edited March 20, 2020 by St Petre add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bassett one   450 #9 Posted March 21, 2020 who was the best centre forward for this section my name is derek Dooley as he scored more goals than others,but I may be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ALAN 58   10 #10 Posted March 21, 2020 The players which I selected I had seen them play many times and imo worthy of a place in the line up. There is no doubt if I had seen Dooley, Hagan and Jefferies they would have been considered for selection. Not easy being a manager is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

John Fantham is the Owls leading post-war goalscorer with 166 from 1958 to 1969, Derek tho' managed 62 in 61 appearances for the Owls from 1950 to 1953.     Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
