goalkeeper. didn't play many games. Mckellar replaced him in 80-81 if i remember correctly. then he left...........where to?.............no idea.

Not our greatest keeper ever, but he was pitched into a side that contained a whole load of new signings by Callaghan. After a tolerable start in a first leg 3-1 against Charlton in the league cup, which kicked off the season in those days, he conceded eight in his next two matches. Five in the return leg at the Valley and then three in our opening league game which was also against Charlton I think. One thing about him, he always threw the ball out presumably under orders in his early games. Interesting times those, I enjoyed the Callaghan era which naturally ended in tears, nothing new there then.

Well done!!! I thought noone would remember him...

This one will be a piece of pi, sorry, cake....

Oh, and what was the funny story that got him into the Guinness Book of Football back in the day???
 

Name that Bee!!!???

Is it Lee Holmes?

The story was covered when The Bees were featured on The Big Match.

He was getting married on the same day as a game at GP and was carted off on the back of a motorbike in his boots and jockstrap, which he made a point of mentioning on several occasions during the interview.

I don't know either of them as I'm under 50 ;) but they are both somewhat unattractive.

I'm 52 and was 25 at that time and remember back long before that. Sure it's not Alzheimer's? Lee Holmes was a part-timer. He worked as a surveyor or draughtsman and Callaghan showed him the door when he refused to go full-time.

Signed him from Harringey Borough.

Mahoney broke his leg at the Home replay game against Swindon in the FA Cup. I remember hearing the crack from the half way line. Great CF, came from Fulscum, then onto palace.
