Ellis was awkward but he couldn’t half head a ball! I’m going off for a little cry in the corner... Keith Ellis worked for my grandad at Edgar Allans. He was a trainee draughtsman and part timer at Wednesday, when players were advised to have a trade to fall back on if they didn't make it. I went in and met him in the summer of 57, just before i started at grammar school. I left my new autograph book with him and it came back with all the Owls names plus several other teams which visited Hillsboro. By 59 he'd broken into the first team and gone fulltime. I've still got a nice SWFC Christmas card which he sent to my grandad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised we let him go cheaply to Bury. £8000 apparently. But when you think Liverpool paid £37,500 for Ian St John ( RIP Saint- absolute class)..

Hitcat Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Looks like a Midwest drifter. Wouldn't be surprised to see a packet of Luckies tucked in his rolled up sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoorfOwl Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Slightly unfortunate that we lost that Everton match 4-2, but I did enjoy being reminded of Don Megson's trademark last ditch tackle - otherwise known as putting the ball and the man into the nearest stand! I liked the Finney dribbles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
