St Petre Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) 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. 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.

ALAN 58 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The North stand opened in 61 , so i would be under constuction at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontarian1981 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 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 ? ---------- Post added 24-07-2018 at 15:12 ---------- Non English goalies of the 60's, Pat Jennings not bad either. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited July 26, 2018 by Ontarian1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
