Rowley Regis

05-12-1965

A combative midfield player who could play equally well at centre-back. He played for Whiteheath St Michael’s Oldbury, Rowley Regis & District Schools, Newton Albion, Netherton and Dudley Town before joining West Bromwich Albion as an apprentice in the July 1983 and he turned professional in December 1984. He made his debut for Albion against Newcastle United in September 1985 as a substitute. He went on to skipper the England Under-Twenty-ones, and gained four caps for them and five at "B" level and eighteen at full level and scored one goal. He made one hundred and fourteen starts together with seven appearances from the bench in League games and scoring four goals in his time at the Hawthorns before moving to Sheffield Wednesday for £750,000 on 23rd February 1989 where he rejoined his old boss Ron Atkinson. He was always a regular at Hillsborough and he made two hundred and four League appearances for the Owls and another one as a substitute while scoring fourteen goals. He was signed by Leeds United for £2.6 million as a replacement for David Batty, but he never managed to reproduce the form that had merited international recognition. Howard Wilkinson often used him as a central defender, but he was equally effective as a man-marker, however it was in midfield where he played the bulk of his games while at Elland Road and his long striding style saw him score some last-minute winners which helped United to surge to a strong late finish to the season as they clinched a place in Europe in 1994-95. After Wilkinson’s departure he fell out of favour and, after scoring five goals in one hundred League starts and two more from the bench, he was dropped by George Graham, and he moved on to Southampton on 26th September 1997 for £1 million. In the dressing room he was abrasive, awkward and argumentative but on the pitch he was determined, hard-working and persistent and his long legs made him difficult to play against. He stayed on the south coast for sixteen months, scoring three goals from forty-five league appearances, all but one of which were from the start. He moved on to Nottingham Forest on 19th January 1999 for £1.1 million. Forest were relegated at the end of that season and he didn’t stay long the following season before he was sold to EPL side Coventry City for £500,000 on 17th September 1999, after scoring once in fourteen League starts and two more from the bench while at the City Ground. He failed to establish himself as a regular at Highfield Road and, in the two years he was there, he only started twenty-seven League games and made three further appearances from the bench, scoring just once. He dropped down the Leagues to Stockport County on 13th November 2001 on a free transfer. Coventry had tried to keep him in the shop window by loaning him to Watford for five League games in December 2000 and two spells with Sheffield Wednesday for three months from February 2001, making twelve League appearances, and a further two months from September 2001, when he played ten League games. He joined Stockport County as Player-Manager, but they were relegated in his first season and embarked on a very poor run of defeats before he was axed. He played forty-three League games, including one as a substitute, scoring four times. He did play briefly for Dublin City in August 2004 and then was invited by Mansfield Town to be their caretaker Manager, which he did without pay. Never one to give up easily, Palmer did enough as acting Mansfield Town manager to convince the club to appoint him on a permanent basis in March 2005. However, after a run of six games in a row without a win, and with the club third from bottom, Palmer resigned as Mansfield manager on September 17, 2005. He only made one League appearance for Mansfield.(Leeds United Player Details)

After starting as a Junior with Queens Park, he then had a long career with Glasgow Rangers in which he scored eighty League goals in one hundred and sixty-eight starts and and thirty-four from the bench, he joined Leeds in March 1980 and in a little over three years he scored ten goals in fifty appearances, of which five were from the bench. He did suffer from injuries but spent much time in the Reserves and then spent nine months on loan with Hong Kong club, Bulova, which ended in June 1983. He moved to Manchester City in August 1983 and immediately found fitness and form, scoring twenty-goals in forty-seven starts and one game from the bench. In January 1985 he joined Swansea City and scored three times in twenty-one starts, before leaving, four months later, to play in New Zealand, and then Belgium, before joining Eddie Gray at Rochdale in December 1986 and scored ten times in forty-two League starts. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, Rochdale had to let him go and in January 1988 he returned to Scotland with Airdrie and later played Non-League with Curzon Ashton, for a month, and then Macclesfield Town, before retiring.(Leeds United Player Details)

Liverpool

25-04-1966

He started with Witton Albion in 1985 and he and Mike Whitlow became Howard Wilkinson's first signings for Leeds United when he paid £30,000 for them both, supposedly £20,000 for Parsley. Both debuted for the Reserves in the same game, but, surprisingly, it was Whitlow that progressed to the Leeds team, in the problem left-back spot, while Parsley had to be content with the right back spot for the reserves. He was loaned to Chester City on 13th December 1989 and started six League games for them before returning on 31st May 1990. Huddersfield Town signing him on a free transfer on 25th July 1990 and he made fifty-five starts and two games from the bench in the League for them. He had a short loan spell with Doncaster Rovers from 20th February 1991 to 31st May 1991, where he made two starts and one as a substitute before West Bromwich Albion paid £25,000 to take him to the Hawthorns on 9th September 1993. There he made thirty-eight starts in the League together with five more as a substitute before joining Exeter City on 1st August 1995. He started twenty-nine League games and was a substitute for a further three in the 1995-96 season before finishing his playing career with Witton Albion, Guiseley and Witton Albion for a third spell which ended in 2001 and since then has managed Guiseley and Farsley Celtic.

Similar to Jack Overfield, he started with Ashley Road Methodists and then Yorkshire Amateurs before joining Leeds in the close season of 1953. Similarly he showed promise in the "A" and Reserve teams but at the end of that season he was allowed to join Queens Park Rangers in August 1954. Just as at Leeds, he failed to make the first team and three years later he joined Rotherham United in August 1957. He scored twice in seven League games while at Millmoor. He is probably more famous as one of Don Revie's backroom staff when he was deputy to Les Cocker and was in charge of the Reserve team training.

Unfortunately injury struck and he had long periods out of the first team and played for the reserves as he was readied for his return to the first team. He left for Plymouth Argyle in October 1967.

An England Youth International, he joined Sheffield Wednesday as an Apprentice, signing professional in May 1981. He made his debut on 13th September 1980 and scored twenty-four goals in sixty-four starts and another forty-one League games as a substitute before Charlton Athletic took him to the Valley for £100,000 on 31st May 1985. At 6ft 3ins and 13st 1lb he was ideally built for a target man and he scored fifteen League goals in sixty-one games, nine of which were as a substitute before Leeds paid £72,000 on 20th January 1987. He had a long spell in the first team squad, but many were as a substitute and his twelve League goals came from fifty-one starts and forty-eight games from the bench. He was loaned to Rotherham United in March 1991 scoring five goals in eleven League starts but in July 1991 he left on a free transfer to Barnsley. There he scored four goals in twenty-nine starts and three from the bench. He went on loan to Hull City in January 1992 but failed to find the net in fifteen starts and in August 1993 he joined Carlisle United on a free transfer. Once again he failed to find the net in five League starts and three games as a substitute and joined Mansfield Town on a non-contract basis in November 1994 and failed to score in two substitute appearances. He joined Cardiff City on a free transfer in January 1995 starting twelve League games but failing to score and he was released in June 1995.(Leeds United Player Details)

Allerton Bywater

5ft 11ins and 12st 9lb he was born in Allerton Bywater, near Castleford, and attended Brigshaw School. A clever midfield player with good skills, who played with the Leeds Juniors and later the Reserves, sometimes in the striker's role, he made nineteen appearances for the Reserve team in 1981-82 but was released by the club at the end of that season. Eddie Gray reversed that decision and he featured regularly in 1982-83 but was released at the end of that season. Despite once sitting on the bench for the first team on 22nd November 1980 at Southampton, he never played at first-team level.

Pemberton

John Matthew/John

19-01-1994

1993-1997

CH/FB

Oldham

18-11-1964

From 1st August 1983, Pemberton was playing for Manchester area side Chadderton and Oldham Boys with David Platt before turning professional, on a no contract agreement, with Rochdale in September 1984, after being realeased by Manchester United, as a junior, in June 1983, but after only one game was given a free transfer. Crewe manager Dario Gradi, the master moulder of future stars, gave him a chance to restart his career at Gresty Road. Like teammates David Platt and Geoff Thomas, both future England Internationals, Pemberton went on to better things, joining Crystal Palace in March 1988 for £80,000, after scoring once in one hundred and sixteen League starts and five games from the bench. He helped Palace win promotion to Division One the following season and figured in their side that was beaten by Manchester United in the 1990 FA Cup Final after drawing 3-3 before losing the replay 1-0. Within three months of those Wembley games he left Selhurst Park, after scoring twice in seventy-six starts in the League and two substitute appearances, to join Dave Bassett’s Sheffield United for £300,000. With the Blades he got to play in the top flight, after the Bramall Lane side had been pipped by Leeds for the Second Division Championship but still managed to get promoted as runners-up in 1989-90. He was a regular in his time at Bramall Lane and was made skipper. He started sixty-eight League games for the Blades. He did get to Wembley where again he was on the losing side in the 1993 Semi-Final as they were beaten by their City rivals, the Owls. He was also in the Sheffield United team for one of Leeds’ finest hours, as they clinched the 1991-92 Championship at Bramall Lane, with Pemberton doing his best to spoil their day as Lee Chapman turned one of his crosses into his own net. The Blades’ skipper left Bramall Lane on, 15th November 1993 at a fee of £250,000, plus £1,000 for each of his first fifty games. An aggressive and pacey defender Pemberton was brought in to bolster Leeds’ squad midway through the 1993-94 season. He proved to be a crowd favourite as they admired his fully committed attitude and 100% effort. He was mainly used as a central defender but he was also used as left-back cover and even scored a hat-trick for the Reserves against Middlesbrough as an emergency centre-forward. This was a strange feat as throughout his career he was a goal-stopper rather than a goal-scorer. He only managed one at Crewe Alexandra, two at Crystal Palace and none at either Sheffield or Leeds. He also continued his abysmal Wembley record being in the Leeds team which crashed to a 3-0 humiliation to Aston Villa in the League Cup in 1995-96. He suffered knee ligament damage at Chelsea in the latter days of that season and after sitting out the entire 1996-97 season he gave up the game, after fifty-three League appearances at Elland Road of which nine were as a substitute. He was given one chance to resurrect his career when Dario Gradi called him back to Gresty Road in August 1997 but he broke down after one game and decided not to try again. After becoming the holder of an UEFA ‘A’ coaching licence, he was coach of the Nottingham Forest Reserve team in the company of Youth coach Chris Fairclough and First team coach David Kerslake, all former Leeds players, and led his charges to the Pontins Central League Championship. He was Manager of Forest for a short while in late December 2008, after the departure of Coilin Calderwood, until the appointment of Billy Davies in January 2009. He took charge of the team for a 3-2 win at Norwich City and for the upset 3-0 win over Manchester City in the F.A. Cup Third Round at Eastlands the following week. At the end of the 2008-09 season Davies reorganized his coaching staff and Pemberton left by mutual consent after ten years with Forest's backroom team. He was brought in by Crystal Palace for two months as Assistant Manager to Paul Hart in an attempt to avoid relegation from the CCCL. This was achieved on the last day of the season, but he was not retained when his contract ran out on that day. In May 2010 he was appointed Manager of the Sheffield United Academy, taking his young charges to the final of the F.A. Youth Cup in the 2010-11 beating Cheltenham Town 4-1 away in the Third Round, Millwall 3-0 at home in the Fourth Round, Blackpool 3-1 at home after extra time in the Fifth Round, Leicester City 2-1 away in the Quarter Finals, before eliminating Aston Villa in the Semi-Finals by winning 1-0 away and 2-0 at home, only to lose the two legged final to Manchester United as the home leg at Bramall Lane ended 2-2 on 17th May 2011 but the return leg at Old Trafford saw them go down 1-4. On 7th September 2012 he announced he had left Sheffield United but on 25th October 2012 it was announced that he had re-joined the Nottingham Forest coaching staff as their "Professional Development Coach" with the responsibility for helping bridge the gap between Academy football and the first team for the Club’s up-and-coming young stars. In mid-February 2013 he was one of several managerial and coaching staff personel that were culled at Forest. On 13th May 2013 he joined Bristol City as Assistant head coach to Sean Driscoll. Pemberton was appointed caretaker manager at Bristol City on 28th November 2013 after the sacking of Sean Driscoll. Steve Cotterill was appointed Manager on 3rd December 2013 on a three-and-a-half year contract and Pemberton reverted to his previous role. (Leeds United Player Details)

Paul Allen/Paul

GK

Sheffield

01-10-1975

Pettinger was capped at both Schoolboy and Youth level by England. He was initially on the books of Barnsley in the 1991-92 season but did not feature in the first team. He signed for Leeds on 16th October 1992 and played mostly at Junior Level and was the goalkeeper for the highly successful team that lifted the FA Youth Cup in May 1993 at the expense of the much-vaunted Manchester United squad which contained so many players who were to find fame at the international level in their future careers. In the 1992-93 season he started twenty-one League games, on League Cup tie and eight Youth Cup ties. The following season of 1993-94 saw him again the main Junior keeper and he started twenty League and one Youth Cup games and was also given nine starts for the Leeds Reserves in the Pontin's League. His Junior days ended with five League games in 1994-95 and he passed on the gloves to the emerging Paul Robinson and he also played one game for the Reserves as he was loaned to other clubs for first team experience. He was loaned out to Torquay United to get some first team experience from 23rd December 1994 and featured in three League games while at Plainmoor. He then dropped into Non-League football with Dagenham and Redbridge, Halifax Town, where he played seven games, and Kettering Town, where he played in six League games, all being teams in the Conference League, before being loaned to Rotherham United from 11th August 1995 but played only one game as a substitute and that was as an outfield player for twelve minutes. Pettinger was an unused substitute for three consecutive games gor the Leeds first team in the 1995-96 season, on 16th September 1995 at home to Queens Park Rangers in the EPL, followed by Notts County at home in the League Cup 2nd Round 1st Leg three days later and the away EPL game at Wimbledon the following Saturday on 23rd September 1995. He joined Gillingham on 28th March 1996 but failed to make the first team, before departing for Carlisle United on 2nd August 1996. Again he didn't make the first team and on 1st August 1997 he returned to Rotherham United where he played sixteen League games and three Cup games. Ironically he finished Rotherham's 2000-01 promotion season as first choice by making thirteen consecutive appearances. Pettinger, who got his chance to play for the Millers mainly due to an injury to regular choice Ian Gray, grabbed his chance well and kept his place in the side from Gray. However, with the return of Mike Pollitt, Pettinger did not feature in Ronnie Moore's plans of First Division football, and wasn't offered another contract with the Millmoor side. It was slightly surprising when Rotherham decided to release him in June 2001 on a free transfer. Lincoln City's then manager Alan Buckley was in desperate need of cover for Alan Marriott and quickly persuaded Pettinger to move to Sincil Bank on 11th July 2001 beating off opposition from Chesterfield. When Marriott had a poor spell, Pettinger was given his opportunity making his debut in the 1-1 draw with Darlington at Sincil Bank on 1st September 2001, after sitting unused on the bench on the three previous games, but he failed to grasp his chance and Marriott soon returned to the side. He was somewhat injury prone at Lincoln and his various niggling injuries meant that Buckley was forced to name youth team player Darren Horrigan as substitute goalkeeper on several occasions during the 2001-02 season. Pettinger managed just five starts, two of which were in the LDV Vans Trophy and it was in that competition that he made his final appearance for the Imps on 12th November 2002 in a 1-2 home defeat by Shrewsbury Town in the Second Round. Pettinger joined Kettering Town on a month's loan in March 2002, after their keeper, Ian Bowling, had received an horrific head injury and he stayed until the end of the season, making fifteen League appearances. He returned to Lincoln for the 2002-03 season but did not make the first team as Alan Marriott's superb form during that season saw Pettinger sitting on the bench for nine games before being loaned to Non-League side Yeovil Town, where he did not make the team, and then Telford United on 1st January 2003. There he filled in for the injured Paul Edwards for three games, and then moved to Gainsborough Trinity so he could get first team football. In February 2003, he joined Gainsborough on a permanent basis when his contract was severed by Lincoln City and he made fourteen appearances for them. He rejoined Kettering Town in May 2003 and made twenty-six starts in 2003-04 and was then was transferred to Hucknall Town in February 2004 and, after helping them win the UniBond League title, playing sixteen games, he then moved on to Conference National club Harrogate Town in the summer of 2004, where he joined a long list of ex-Leeds United players and made forty-one starts in the League. He then had a spell with Stalybridge Celtic starting at the beginning of the 2005-06 season and making forty-one League appearances in that season followed by twenty-three in the League and one as an unused substitute and four starts in the F.A.
