@owlstalk Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It seems like many former Sheffield Wednesday players went on to become landlords in pubs. A few spring to mind such as Peter Swan being the resident landlord at the Travellers Inn at Attercliffe Anyone know any others? Let's see how many we can remember...

Guest Ferkorf Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Terry Currans got one out near the kinsley dog track he owns with his brothers (as far as I'm aware) I got a great story of being there on his birthday one Sunday a few years back. I took a photo of all his family together for them as one of them had to stand out of it to take it. As they all split apart I shook his hand and said do you mind if I get a selfie, I got a quick snap then walked off... Leaving Terrys brother stood there wondering what the ferk just happened and my Barnsley supporting father in law and 2 brother in laws in tears of laughter I saw him not too long after at a friends funeral in Stocksbridge, I ducked him just incase he recognised me Edited March 26, 2020 by Ferkorf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept the Castle Arms at Bolsover for a good few years, and also played cricket for Bolsover Colliery in the A section of the Bassetlaw League, which was a fair standard at that time. Peter Swan kept a pub on Sheffield Road at Chesterfield, just below the old Grammar School, I think it was called the Saint Helena, but my memory is well past it's sell by date.

Saw him on Whittington moor a few years ago , saw him first from behind but could tell it was him , very distinctive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
