Not sure why doing now, but... [Merged the two Springett stories' Soccervoice.com SOCCERVOICE STAFF In the world of football transfers, the Springett brother swop might be the most unique The life of football is also a life of transfers. Transfers are often highlights for newspapers and websites. It involves excitement and fresh faces joining your club or it could be the loss of your life seeing a great player leave. Almost 45 years ago a very strange transfer took place when the Springett goalkeeper brothers were swopped, Ron (pic) and Peter Springett were brothers and both proffesional goalkeepers in the English game during the 60's and early 70's. Ron made 33 appearances for England and was part of two World Cup squads, in 1962 and 1966. Ron played his last game for England in a friendly against Norway in one of the preperation games in front of the 1966 World Cup. Peter was the youngest of the two brothers and entered the proffesional stage more or less as a replacement for his brother at QPR. Ron had previously been with QPR but his best years in football was with Sheffield Wednesday. Ron played 384 games for Sheffield Wednesday before his return to QPR in May 1967. Peter who by then had become a well respected goalkeeper at Loftus Road, made a move the opposite way. This is a unique transfer, seeing two brothers, both playing in the same position, being swopped in a transfer which made the oldest brother returning to the club he played for before. Ron is the most famous of the two brothers and he was one of a group of former England internationals receiving their winning medals from the 1966 World Cup 43 years after. Ron was never fielded in the 1966 World Cup, and only the 11 playing the final received medals 43 years ago. It was fantastic to see him and his fellow squad members receving the medal at Downing Street on the 10 the of June 2009. Ron played for QPR, Sheffield Wednesday during a career starting 1955 and ending in 1969. Peter had a good career with QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley, despite being at Hillsborough during a difficult time for the Owls, seeing them relegated to the third tier in English football. Peter Springett died in 1997 after a four year Cancer battle. More news and bloglines, enter here soccervoice.com/n100617.htm#text |
