Brother in Owls


Recommended Posts

Derek & Eric Wilkinson, I think Eric played just one game. I remember as a kid, playing football on the Sandhills in Staybridge, Eric walked on the pitch with one of my uncle’s, he got the ball near the half way line, I was in goal, he hit the ball (a leather casy) so hard it nearly took my head off, I managed to get out of the way. Apparently, Eric was a better player than his brother but was crowd shy and packed it in.

Ron and Peter Springett, Paul and Peter Shirtliffe  & Jim and Tom McAnearny are the only ones I remember.

The Springett brothers were unusual because we swapped one for the other as the great Ron’s career was coming to an end.
