Dave Swindlehurst (Ex Palace and WHU reply)

[rcsmg1]

I got my cards signed by David after sending to the school where he now works.

Dave came up through the ranks at Crystal Palace, playing youth football in the early 1970s with future West Ham United team-mate Alan Devonshire. Starting his senior career in 1973, he played for Palace for eight seasons and scored 81 goals in 278 appearances.He later joined Derby County in April 1980. Derby paid £410,000, the first time the club had broken the £400,000 barrier.

John Lyall took Swindlehurst to Upton Park for £160,000 in March 1983, but injuries hampered his chances of regular first-team football. He played his last game for West Ham on 27 April 1985 against Luton Town and got sent off, and after two seasons and 71 League and cup games for the East Londoners, he moved on to Sunderland.

After a spell in Cyprus with Anorthosis Famagusta, Swindlehurst returned to London to play for Wimbledon, but he managed just two appearances in the season they got to the 1988 FA Cup Final. He later played for Colchester United, and on loan at Peterborough United.
