You must have the wrong bloke. Our Chris Turner was 5' 10" same as Ron Springett the pair of them remain the only two keepers to gain runners up or major honours awards for the Owls in any of the last 87 years. Do you mean that Chris Turner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on about 1991 when we signed woods tbf as people stated we didn't need him, as we had better already and pressman wasn't ready back then and turner was past his Best England b appearances, well obviously england managers didn't have the same faith as Wednesday managers but they had more to pick from What about woods england a caps.... Do they not count And ffs he can take a penalty, so could weaver, but he was employed to stop them I feel like I'm talking a foreign language tonight Neils done well as he knows this is a moot point People saying pressman's better etc and he got b caps, and played well against them, and didn't drop the ball at Wembley..... Err I must not have been at the Game when he was the second ever fastest player to be sent off Or when the ball had hit the net before he fell on the spot he was actually stood on Now I don't accept people will ever change their minds about woods, and I use to joke that it was Hyde's fault for kicking it in the net, but come on seriously we wouldn't have finished 3rs that year with pressman or turner in the net FACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 1991 / 1992 season he had a mare against utd at the sty! I was in their home stand and ran to the front of it as the players came off and shouted "woods that was a f***kin' s*it performance" only to be reprimanded by a member of SYP who gave me a bit of a reprimand for swearing and then said " you're right though" - I didn't hang around after the end of the return match at Hillsborough where he was even worse!

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just had a look of "kind of magic 92-93 season review" he dropped some reyt clangers. The derby at the sty wasn't on the DVD, I've seen that. I maintain Woods was garbage for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately when a keeper makes a mistake its a goal. What about when brighty shinned it onto the post. Unfortunately he didn't play well in the derbies and that's all weds fans remember. Pressman wasn't anywhere near a better keeper but he did play well against the oinkers and unfortunately that is what Wednesday fans remember I went to see a pre season against Macclesfield and I think pressman is still falling for the ball..... The game had kicked off by the time he hit the ground he was that slow Springetts were before my time, but maybe hodge was better, but between woods and pressman no comparison Oh and this singing seamen's praises, obviously weren't at the game were we sang let's all do the seamen and flap our arms about, if I remember correctly shafting us vs Holland......

Just for the record. Gerry Young never played at centre back. he was a left half or for a few matches a centre forward, but never a centre half.

archieswfc Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Made some good saves as do all keepers. Bottled the big occasion time and time again ie; cup final, every blades game, cup game V Southampton (we were the holders at the time). Most overrated player in my time imo. If anyone has the 92/93 season review, watch it and count how many points he cost us, enough to win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owler66 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 In the 93 semi final if we'd swapped keepers Wednesday would've won I lot easier than we did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
