Possibly our greatest post-war keeper has died after a short illness.
Ron Springett made 384 appearances between the posts for the Owls from 1958–1967. He also kept 33 times for England and was understudy to Gordon Banks for the 1966 World Cup.
RIP Ron, our thoughts are with his family at this time.
