Posted by Jon Swinbourne on September 10, 2004, 12:41 pm, in reply to "Re: Roy Swinbourne - 50's" My playing career has just tragicly cut short by nasty knee injury. I think that the Sutton Sunday Divison 5 will be able to go on without me though . . Any more info you can furnish me with will be much appreciated (how do I get in touch with the ex wolves players thing?) --Previous Message--
Thanks Mr Wolf.
: Just a wild guess (your surname!!) but are you
: related ??
: My Dad was a Wolves supporter, born in
: Hednesford he was a mate of Tommy Galley
: (older ex wolves player)and used to watch the
: Wolves from the 30's up until his death in
: the late 80's..
: He used to talk about Roy Swinboure a lot
: (along with Messrs Mullen, Hancocks, Clamp,
: Slater, Wright etc). My Dad went to the
: Honved & Spartak games in the '50s
: (European Football at Molineux...remember
: that !!!!) He always referred to RS as
: "one of the finest forward's he'd ever
: seen"..."a natural goalscorer"
: and insisted that he would have gone on to
: even greater things if his playing career had
: not been cut short by injury (think he
: injured his knee jumping over a photographer
: behind the goal at Molineux and quit in
: something like 1957).
: Pretty sure Roy Swinbourne is still alive -
: if you contact the club they should be able
: to put you in touch with the 'Old Wolves'
: network.
