1 |
Graham Schofield began his playing career as an
apprentice professional at Oldham Athletic and graduated through to their
Reserve side. Considered a little on the short side for a central defender
at just 5’9” he was however known to have excellent vision
and was as good in the air as players several inches taller. A broken
leg incurred at Oldham saw him released from the cash strapped Latics
and offered a chance at recovery by Mossley manager Don Wilson. Eight
months after the injury he was making a training comeback only to break
the same leg again in a training accident. Yet another comeback was thwarted
by a separate freak injury to the same leg before Graham finally made
his Mossley debut, a full three years after initially signing, in a 0-0
draw at Scarborough in August 1974. He was an instant hit partnering Tony
Steenson in the heart of the Mossley defence as the team climbed to their
highest position so far, 6th, in the NPL and enjoyed good runs in both
the FA Cup (4th Qualifying Round) and FA Trophy (3rd Round). Graham was
a big favourite with the fans and gave confident displays week in week
out. Mossley were playing an away NPL Cup tie at Runcorn when Schofield
tangled with Runcorn striker Barry Whitbread and Schofield didn’t
get back up. Mossley’s worst fears were realised when it was discovered
that he had fractured the same leg and this time his career was over at
just 24 years of age. Oldham provided the Seel Park opposition in a benefit
game on Graham’s behalf and he was deservedly voted Player of the
Year by the fans but that was small consolation for one of Mossley’s
brightest prospects whose career was ended by such unlucky identical injuries. |

A
skilful and dominating centre half Jack Shaw originally signed for Mossley
in August 1936 after earlier spells with Oldham Athletic, Blackpool and
Lytham. After making 44 appearances in the 1936-37 season Shaw returned
to League football and had spells with Birmingham City and Watford during
the War before returning to Mossley in 1946. He made 50 appearances that
season and was to continue as the first name on the team sheet for the
next five years until his retirement from football in May 1951. Shaw was
presented with a clock by Mossley AFC Chairman George Clayton upon his
retirement from playing. Shaw was a legend during his time at Mossley
and in one famous incident scored a goal by dribbling through the entire
Witton Albion team before shooting a great goal. Shaw had starred in the
1949-50 FA Cup run and such was his influence that despite suffering from
a severe bout of flu he played in the FA Cup 2nd Round replay against
Nuneaton Borough. In all Jack Shaw made 238 appearances for Mossley. |

Moved to Curzon Ashton for the 2007/08 season but returned to Mossley in October 2007. |

Darren
started his footballing career at Leeds United as an apprentice. His brother
John was at the club. After he was released he
quit playing football for a time. In the 1987/88 season he joined Mossley
but after a brief unsuccessful spell he moved to Curzon Ashton. In the
summer of 1992 he signed up for Winsford United and the 1992-93 season
will go down in Winsford folklore as Mike McKenzie's men won an astonishing
five trophies - the NPL Challenge Cup, NPL President's Cup, Cheshire Senior
Cup, Mid-Cheshire Senior Cup and NPL Runners Up Cup. Winsford also finished
second to Southport and their points total is a record for the most points
accrued without winning the title. The team included Wayne Collins who
joined Crewe at the end of the season, and Jon Whitney who joined Huddersfield
Town Darren was another of the players to move into professional football, and at the age of 25 he joined Barnsley (171-5) for a reported £10,000 fee before moving to Wigan Athletic (71-4) on a free transfer and then Oldham Athletic (88-3). Later with Clyde and St Johnstone. Then joint manager of Barrow from 2007. |

Former
Coventry City and Altrincham goalkeeper considered to be the best in the
Northern Premier League when he was signed from Macclesfield Town as part
of deal that also brought Tibor Szabo to Seel Park for a total of £2,500
early in the 1980-81 season. After a shaky start as he attempted to oust
long serving John Fitton he eventually settled down to give some stunning
displays and many condider him to have been Mossley's best ever keeper.
He returned to Macclesfield Town at the end of the 1982-83 season. (Rep.
NPL XI) |

| George Sievwright | 1972/73 | 2 |
0 |
The
delightfully named George Edgar Smollett Sievwright was born in Broughty
Ferry, Scotland on 10th September 1937 and signed for Dundee United from
his local junior club Broughty Ferry Athletic in 1957. A physical combative
hard as nails wing half, he was signed by Oldham Athletic for a £500
fee in the summer of 1963 and made 37 appearances for the Latics scoring
4 goals in the 1963-64 season. At the end of that season he was released to join Tranmere Rovers but spent the year playing for their reserve side in the Cheshire League. He then moved to Rochdale where he was able to get back into League football making 32 appearances scoring 1 goal in the 1965-66 season. Sievwright then spent the next six years with Macclesfield Town and played for them firstly in the Cheshire League and then the Northern Premier League also appearing in the inaugural 1970 FA Trophy final gaining a winners medal as Macc beat Telford United at Wembley Stadium. Following Don Wilson's resignation as Mossley manager in November 1972 Sievwright applied for the position and became a shock appointment as everyone outside of the boardroom believed that midfield maestro Lennie Dickenson would get the job. Dickenson left the club as a result and the Saddleworth based Sievwright spent the next few months dismantling Wilson's team and replacing them with an odd-ball assortment of failed ex League club apprentices and unsuccessful local non-league players. After having just two managers in the previous fifteen years Sievwright's stay was to be comparatively short and he was dismissed to cheers of relief from the fans following a 3-0 defeat at Fleetwood on 27th January 1974. He had been appointed as a player manager but in 14 months in charge he made only 2 appearances in the team. Sievwright had a later equally unsuccessful spell in charge at Stalybridge Celtic. |

(b.3rd August 1949) Leo began his career with Burscough and Ellesmere Port Town before signing as a professional with Rochdale (40-14). He was leading scorer for Rochdale in the 1973-74 season before arriving at Seel Park initially on loan in January 1975. He scored 15 goals in 18 games before the season’s close and then scored 20 goals in 58 appearances the following season. In 1976-77 Skeete broke the Club’s post war scoring record netting 45 in 60 appearances. The next year he won the first of two successive Player of the Year awards while scoring 26 goals in 57 games. 1978-79 saw Skeete lead from the front as Mossley won the NPL League and Cup double scoring 26 goals in 53 games and was team captain as Mossley retained the League title in 1979-80 and reached Wembley in the FA Trophy. He scored 29 goals in 55 appearances that season and 19 in 42 in 1980-81. The 1982-83 season was to be his last at Mossley and he scored 7 goals in 14 games before a £3,500 move to Runcorn. He ended his playing career two seasons later with Altrincham. Leo Skeete made a total of 350 appearances for Mossley scoring 174 goals. |

Began his career with Adelphi Lads Club before signing for Manchester City where he scored 75 goals in 166 appearances at inside forward. He was transferred to Chesterfield for £5,000 in 1951 and made 250 appearances scoring 97goals and he is 3rd in Chesterfield's all time goalscoring list. Noticable for having a withered arm, but he was apparently shot on military service in South Africa and part of his hand was subsequently amputated. Had a brief but dramatic 9 game spell at Mossley before moving to Hyde United and later Prestwich Heys. |

Sheffield
based Ian Smith was signed from Yorkshire League side Mexborough Town
Athletic in September 1977 making his debut as a substitute for Dick Bate’s
side in a 2-0 League Cup defeat by Lancaster on 30th September 1977. Hampered
by injury, the young striker hardly set the world on fire in his early
Mossley appearances, in fact, his unorthodox appearance and a lazy eye
made him a fans scapegoat in Bate’s less than successful side. Bate
was sacked at the beginning of January 1978, just prior the away game
at unbeaten League leaders Boston United. With trainer Bernard Keeley
and captain Leo Skeete in temporary charge of the team Mossley weren’t
given any hope of success at Boston but Smith stole the show running 3/4
the length of the pitch to score a last minute winner against all the
odds. He finished the season with 10 goals. The following season playing in a 4-2-4 formation under Bob Murphy - Smith, playing alongside Skeete, Davey Moore and Eamonn O’Keefe caused havoc in opponents defences throughout a superb season that saw Mossley win the Northern Premier League and Cup double with Smith netting 38 goals. The following season saw more of the same as the livewire right sided striker bagged a further 31 goals as Mossley retained the NPL title and reached the final of the FA Trophy at Wembley where he scored Mossley’s goal in the unlucky final defeat. He was then selected to play for the England Semi Pro side in a four nation tournament in Italy where he played against Italy and Scotland before being transferred to Scarborough for a £9,000 fee in the summer of 1980. Smith later played for Matlock Town and Alfreton Town and is now involved in coaching youngsters in the Sheffield area. |
