Month - his knee? I think was MaCall with the injury. Both had really respectable careers before Wednesday but McCall had injury problems and McKenzie was past it and I think just signed as a short term squad player to help us get over the line in the promotion season.

elyowl1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Steve McCall decent player but sadly another player hit by injuries in his 5 or so years with us. About 30 games in total, went to Plymouth I think and played quite a lot. McKenzie like Owers or Owen, Galvin and many others since, past it but at least only signed as a squad player and not a first reamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you’re right. The were two steady players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooogs Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I was surprised by how past it they both were - they were a year younger than Danny Wilson and 5 years younger than Viv! I was shocked to find that McCall was with us for 4-5 years, given how little impact he made - I'd always assumed he was just here for a season or so...

One of my favourite players from that era and a right little nasty b45t4rd to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Blimey. I wonder why I thought of the two Steves in starting this thread nine years ago! Recently, I have been reminded of their efforts in the excellent '91 book. They are both worth their footnote in Owls history I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
