RIP Charlie Crickmore

[Kempton]

The 3 Sheff Wed players involved in the match-fixing scandal were David "Bronco" Layne, John Kay and Peter Swan.
They were convicted in '64 received gaol sentences, banned from football for life, though the offences took place in late '62.
Note: Must add, to keep the record straight, the Peter Swan involved was not the Peter Swan who played for City and commentates with Burnsey on Radio Humberside.

I wish it was 'our' Peter Swan

Charlie was one of those refs who used to keep up with play so well he would overtake the players charging forward.

RIP Charlie

Thanks for the photo, I work with Brian Bulless’s son, I’ll pass it on to him.

Brian Bulless was the first player I saw who utilized the "long throw-in" to great effect. There may have been more players who did playing in other divisions, but in those days there was next to no TV coverage so to my mind B.B. had this unique tactical armament in his arsenal. He also had a very sweet left foot if I recall ?

I remember it, also Les Collinson who seemed to always have a red face.

Scarboro seem to be walking this league. Was this expected or just a nice surprise?

lol, you are right John he did indeed always have a red face, before and after training even, his mam lived down our street and I often saw him visiting her, not sure if Les had a car as I always saw him walking.

Isn't the banned Peter Swann a relation to the Peter Swan who played for City ? I thought it was his old man ?

 

[Billy Blys Cap]

Seem to remember that we bought Charlie from Bournemouth in the early sixties.

No idea if they're related, but he's certainly not his dad (who was a newsagent in Leeds).

Don't think so. Both Yorkshire born however. As OLM mentions, not father & son.

I'm sure they are related somewhere along the line because I remember City's Peter Swann referring to the case once when on air with Burnys.

Even more unlikely to be related then I would have thought.

Maybe he’s related to Peter Swan the Scunthorpe Utd owner?
