As a kid around '74/75, I can remember being well impressed with his magnificent chads, but , perhaps not so much with his footballing panache. Anyone else recall big John? Remember him well. Started out with a bullish approach and was captain. Unfortunately, the side was in steep decline from day one and he got little amongst the dross we had at the time. Can also recall that he played guitar and once saw a picture of him and Lulu of all people having a "jam". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Got him from wolves the week after he scored an own goal on MOTD if i recall correctly... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Lurch.....he was absolutley gash,he fitted in well here as most of them were gash to be fair around that time. Pete Swan wasnt a fan,he slated him off something wicked. He showed quite a bit of potential in his early Wolves days,I remember him scoring at home to Fulham,he weighed in with the odd goal here n there.

Yeah he was Shybo and so jealous that Peter Swan had forgotten more about defending than he was ever likely to know ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Dobson Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Actually saw him score at Craven Cottage in February 1975 - one of three Wednesday scored in the final 19 games that season and the last one until Joicey's last minute equaliser ten games later! The game at Fulham(lost 2-1) was a horrendous performance in the freezing cold. Bernard Joy once quite a famous journalist with the London Evening Standard wrote the next day that it was sad to see this "once great club" in such dire circumstances. Little did he know we hadn't even started yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right ?..............christ, my old memory must be playing up.................i can clearly remember that Cusack and Holsgrove were awful but thought they played alongside each other.

This..........................as awful as our record was during this time we always had that to cling on to, i , personally thought the Turner era was much worse, there are at least 6 players on this picture that would have WALKED into that turner side.

Presume you mean Eric Potts and not Tommy Craig. Potts was player of the year twice and scored in that memorable match against Southend that kept Wednesday out of Division 4.
