Growl67 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I can go back to the early 50’s and I can’t recall a John Crossland playing for us in any position. And before anybody says it, I can recall more about the Wednesday in 1950/60 than I can yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I get a prize for being nearest? I remember Johnny Crossland, Owls fan from Mosborough, used to be a regular in the Mill pub, late 70s/ early 80s.

dorian gray Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 15 hours ago, Ursa Minor said: Never heard of Crossland .... but talking of obscure goalkeepers, I remember that keeper Trevor Pearson, played four games in March / April 1972. Wednesday had a injury crisis with Grummit and Springett injured and the transfer deadline had passed. So Pearson of Norton Woodseats FC or something played as an amateur. that's the guy I've been trying to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Back to Crossland...... Just checked in 'Sheffield Wednesday - the complete record' (Brodie & Dickinson) and can find no mention.

I would imagine, if he was on Wednesday’s books, it would have been as a Central League, or Northern Intermediate player, so may not show up on any records If not, somebody on here would have heard of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Can't help with Crossland. Sorry. But interesting story about a guy called Tim Taylor who was our youth keeper in the Jack Charlton era. Chris Turner was first team keeper, so Tim never got a sniff and moved on to Chesterfield. Tim packed football in to concentrate on tennis which he excelled at. Moving abroad, he was Tenerife singles champion for 7 years and has beaten Bjorn Borg and Michael Stick(former German no 1) at veterans events. Doesn't help with the original query, but not every Owls reserve or youth keeper goes on to make good at another sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Reminds of a story an old Wednesday fan told me...and I mean old..He was 90 odd and a patient on the ward I worked on. Once he found out I was an Owls fan he wanted a full match report every Monday..he'd only stopped going a couple of years before...but he told me, We once had a keeper who used to trot up towards the halfway line when Wednesday were attacking...and If we lost the ball would come haring back, shoutin' at the defence... "They're comin!!!!" He swore to God it was true...I could say f.ook all for laughing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 There was a lad called Dave Barker who played in goal and was on the books from the early 70s to the late 80s. He was a good non league player but I think he was only called on as back up and never played for the first team. Not to do with the original post but he probably doesnt appear on any records either and I'm sure people on here know him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if some of you elder chaps can cast your mind back to the late 60’s early 70’s. Does anyone recall a goalkeeper called John Crossland playing for the Owls either 1st team or reserves? Cheers in advance I knew I'd seen that name recently. Screenshot attached, it was Reading Owl that mentioned the name in another thread. @ReadingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers in advance After reading 3 pages of nobody really knowing him and a cameo about Carver Street nightlife, can I ask why you want to know. Great thread mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
