No, he wasn't a goalkeeper.
After an illustrious football career he spent the rest of his working life in a local factory, which may be why he had those big hands! He died at his machine aged 60. He was originally from the north-west, somewhere in the vicinity of the beautiful lake district.

Ray Barlow?

You are getting closer ..... but Ray Barlow was a newsagent in Stourbridge, and he didn't have big hands!

So I was told, this fellow was on the pitch in that historical England 3 Hungary 6 match......he also kept racing pigeons.

So played around the 50s, probably died in the 90s.
