Owls 1973-76 Research

[Bearwood Owl1]

Hello everyone. As I've commented on here a couple of times previously. I'm researching and writing about the Owls in the mid-1970s - 1973-76 to be precise. A time of pretty abject football, but one that seems to be remembered fondly by the fans.

I've had a really good response to an online survey I set up (70+ responses from fans). I've collected every Owls book I can get my hands on, and have most of the programmes from the era.

The club have also been helpful and pointed me in the direction of material relating to the accounts at the time (there was no money!)

I have had a little bit of interest from publishers in getting it published, And more concrete interest in getting an article or two out there.

I would really like to be able to add in the opinion of a player or two from the time. I have a couple of leads there, but no success so far.

I wondered therefore if anyone had any contacts for players of the period? I'd greatly appreciate it - and would communicate with them in whatever way suited best (phone, in person, by email etc).

I'll put a list on the next comment of all the players who played at this time.
Hope someone can help! Thanks and UTO
