Sova Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 This was a Monday night game, and we'd beaten Oxford 6-1 on the Saturday. I can't find the line-ups either, but I presume we must have made some changes, because no one scored in both games. (See http://www.adrianbullock.com/swfc/stats/lg1987.htm). Colin Walker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Walker_(footballer,_born_1958) scored a hat-trick - his only goals for us. I wonder if that makes him unique (for us anyway).

TINGLE75 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Never heard of Colin Walker. Just googled him, he did not play many games. His 3rd highest performance number was New Zealand national side with 15 caps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Colin Walker? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 In November 1985, Walker returned to Doncaster Rovers on non-contract terms, playing five times before moving to Cambridge United in January 1986. He scored once in 3 games, but was released by Cambridge and returned to Matlock Town. From there he joined Harworth Colliery Institute from where he was signed by Sheffield Wednesday in August 1986. He joined Darlington on loan in December 1986, where he made seven appearances, and Torquay United on loan in October 1987, where he made three appearances. He left Sheffield Wednesday having played just two league games and after scoring a hat-trick in a League Cup tie, a 7–0 victory against Stockport County, which Wednesday won 10–0 on aggregate Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen he was touted as one of the best youth players, even at one point better than George Best. 10 goals in 15 games for his country.
