Dropout Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hello. I was at the game all those years ago, at Hillsborough, a 0-0 draw. I have some autographs of Wednesday and United players that I got from the day, that I am now putting up for sale. I know/ remember, most of the Wednesday players, and the Alan Woodward autograph, but there are a couple that I cannot make out, so,.....what I would like to know please, is what were the TWO full teams for that day, if anyone remembers or knows please? Thankyou, regards, 11.10.2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I suspect United's line up that day was: John Hope, Len Badger, Ted Helmsley, John Flynn, Eddie Colquhoun, Trevor Hockey, Alan Woodward, Geoff Salmons, Bill Dearden, Tony Currie and Gil Reece.

Dropout Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hello, Hopman. Thankyou very much for that. Wonder if you, or anyone else might know who these autographs are, from the day/era? On the page of 5, I know who the second, fourth and fifth players are...and the third MAY be either Graham Pugh or Tommy Craig....or neither!! I know the Alan Woodward autograph, but don't know who has signed the flip side page, in blue. Any positive I.D.s? help, thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I can make out a John Holsgrove on the top sheet (Wednesday 1971-75). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Might that be David Sunley above him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropout Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hello. Yes, correct on both counts. I already have those 2 tagged and Alan Thompson, the second one down, top sheet. It is the top and third name from the Top sheet I am after and the one in blue pen on the reverse of Alan Woodward. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Is this any help? A list of appearances for Wednesday that season? http://adrianbullock.com/swfc/stats/lg1971.htm#Appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropout Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello. Thankyou so much for your help. I cannot make out the other 2 players on the sheet of 5, although, from your Wednesday list, the 3rd one down, MAY be Colin Prophett? My Old memory is telling me, I think, that the one in blue on the rear of Alan Woodward may well be Eddie Colquhoun.? Thanks again......appreciated. Regards.
