Unsung Bridgnorth pub footballer hailed as one of world's 'coolest goalkeepers'
A little-known goalkeeper who used to play for a pub team in Bridgnorth has been recognised as on of the "coolest goalkeepers of all time" by a leading sports magazine.
Steve Smith was the keeper for The Fox Inn, which was situated in Bridgnorth's St John's Street, in the 1970s.
Now Mundial Magazine, a quarterly football magazine, has recognised the pub keeper in its latest edition, published last week, in which it names "The 75 Coolest Goalkeepers of All Time".
The magazine said Steve Smith made the list for "wearing leather shorts, a headband, and round glasses while playing for The Fox, a Bridgnorth pub team in 1970s - shine on you crazy diamond".
Little is known about Mr Smith apart from his bohemian looks, but he is pictured in a line-up of the football team in 1971.
