Ken Mulhearn Reply

[rcsmg1]

I wrote to Ken last week to sign my old cards and received them back with a short note from Ken as well.

Ken Mulhearn started his career as an apprentice at Everton but did not make the first team, and moved into the lower divisions with Stockport County, where he made 100 appearances. He was signed by First Division Manchester City on 21 September 1967. Two days later Manchester City's first choice goalkeeper Harry Dowd sustained an injury, and Mulhearn took his place in the team, his debut coming in a Manchester derby. He kept his place for the remainder of the season, gaining a League Championship medal as part of Manchester City's 1967–68 title-winning side.European Cup defeat to Fenerbahçe, in which his failure to claim a cross resulted in a winning goal for the Turkish side, leading Malcolm Allison to blame him for the defeat. He did not feature again that season, and dropped to third choice behind Dowd and Joe Corrigan. He returned to the first team for brief periods in the 1969–70 season, but by this time Corrigan had become established as a senior player and opportunities were limited. He made his final Manchester City appearance in a 1–1 draw against Arsenal on February 18, 1970.In March 1971 he transferred to Shrewsbury Town, where he made 370 league appearances in nine years. His final club was Crewe Alexandra, where he made 88 appearances before retiring.

great reply and loving the dual multi card Rob never seen one like that before 🙂

More great old cards Rob, really like them. If I am not mistaken, you have had a few of those dual picture cards out and about with some back signed. Were they only produced like that for one season, or more than one season?

It amazes me how they manage to fit a sig on those dual picture cards. Looks really good though, Rob.
