Bristol Oil Services Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Anyone over 50 remember Billy Woof? Played for Middlesbrough, early 80s. You think I make this up, but it's true: Mr and Mrs Woof of Gateshead had a boy in the 50s and they called him William. Anyway, he's in my Great Name X1 along with Steve DEATH, Reading keeper in the 70s. 1. Steve DEATH 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Billy WOOF 10. 11. I could use some more (come on, it's another tedious international break, with not enough to moan about with the City as we speak), help me out here .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read up on Steve Death and he's regarded as one of Reading's finest goalkeepers I played with a 5'8" keeper who was released from Southampton aged 18 as he was deemed too short. He had a leap on him that was incredible and hands like shovels, couldn't be knocked off the ball in the air, and was as quick as lightening off his line. He was a combined services keeper and also a combined services basket ball player, probably the best keeper I played with. Unfortunately, it was the 70s and you needed to be big whatever position you played to make it in the pro game. The absolutely worst time for English football.
