Division Three
Saturday, December 14th, 1963
Wrexham v Peterborough United |
 Dave Powell at No. 6

 |
Wrexham were bottom of the League, and lost 2v3 with Ernie Pythian scoring both goals, in front of a 4,527 crowd.
Wrexham had beaten Luton Town 2v0 (Arfon Griffiths and Mickey Metcalf the scorers) in their previous match, which had ended a run of 12 games without a win, 11 of them being straight defeats.
In the Peterborough side was DEREK DOUGAN - the programme noted; 6ft 2 1/2 ins tall, this Irish International came to 'Posh' from Aston Villa. A personality who can play. "The Doug" is a maker and taker of goals, and at 24 years of age is due to grace the game for many years. |
Player / Manager Ken Barnes in his programme notes wrote; "What wretched luck befell DAVE MACKAY last Tuesday at Old Trafford and the sympathy of all the football world goes out to Dave, along with best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery." A year later, Mackay would break his leg again. | |

I receive many requests for assistance at mywebsite.
This request, in my mind, is a special one. KD
It comes from Bob Weeks who describes himself as
"a football nut".
He writes;
|
I am trying to track down Dave Powell and came across your website in which you detail Dave's playing career.A truly astonishing piece of work!
I have a massive collection of football autographs, housed in a vast range of books.Dave Powell has an entry in one of these books and the book has been signed by hundreds of players from all eras and from all league clubs across the country.I would have seen Dave play on a couple of occasions - for Sheffield United against Bristol City and maybe even against Coventry City.
Collecting these autographs has been my hobby for donkey's years. I was a Bristol City fan as a boy and the earliest autographs I got were of players like John Atyeo, Bobby Williams, Mike Thresher, Tommy Burden.
I have been a Coventry City fan since the early seventies and - even if I say so myself - have an unrivalled collection of Coventry autographs going way, way back.
All of these I've met and got the autographs personally - and this applies to most of my collection. | If you can assist Bob in getting in touch with
Dave Powell,
Bob can be contacted viamail@penmon.org | | |
3.10.07 Name: Dave Rankin
Message: I was so happy to read about Dave Powell, one of the greatest players I have ever seen to play for Sheffield United.
Yes I'm a long suffering Blades fan. My first game was Doc Pace's testimonial under floodlights about 1963 or 4, I think. I was 8 or 9.
If you ever get in contact with Dave, please ask him if he remembers the magical tackle he made on Malcolm McDonald of Newcastle at Bramall Lane?
Briefly, supermac was scoring shedloads of goals for fun, and was built like a bustling tank. He terrorised defences, with his pace and large frame. United had a centre half, a Scot called Eddie Colquhoun who had kept Malcolm quiet all the game. Until one through ball caught him out of position.
 |
McDonald had blistering pace and he was away, ball at his feet bearing down on goal with just the keeper to beat. From out of nowhere Dave Powell who of course was quite thin and spindly chased him down and from behind at full pace managed to get his leg all the way around Mc Donald and play the ball first . |
Supermac went sprawling flying head first into the ground and there was Dave ball at his feet passing it out to the wing. It was a fabulous tackle on one of the games fastest players, unbelievable. One of the my best memories of Dave.
It would be lovely to hear what he is doing now. Hopefully enjoying his retirement.
What a shame the game was robbed all too soon of his genius.
Unfortunately his career was cut short by a broken leg. He was an outstanding reader of the game possesed amazing pace and courage. In all the internationals I watched he never let Wales down or looked out of place against more illustriuos opponents. Thank you for recording Dave's career onto the web. | |

Dave Powell
|
Dave Powell came to Cardiff in a swap deal in September 1972 that saw striker Alan Warboys move to Sheffield United with Cardiff born winger cum striker Gil Reece and Powell moving in the opposite direction. |
Gil Reece
| I can remember being pleased with the deal because City were struggling badly at the time and Warboys' form had dipped sharply from his great first season with us in 70/71.
Reece and Powell were regulars in the Sheffield United and Wales teams of the late 60's and early 70's and, although I can remember Sheffield taking 4-1 and
3-1 beatings at Ninian Park in 68/69 and 69/70 (I think Dave Powell was playing in both matches).
Powell always impressed me as a Bobby Moore rather than a Jackie Charlton type of centre back who wasn't too tall but relied on anticipation and positioning as well as, probably, more pace than Moore had.
Brian Harris |
City had been missing that sort of defender really since the excellent Brian Harris had moved to Newport County as player/manager in the summer of 1971 and it was pretty obvious that Dave Powell would be a first choice in our side ..... if he stayed fit. |
That was the problem with Powell at Cardiff, he never really recovered from that broken leg he suffered a few years earlier and, with Reece reaching the veteran stage and struggling to win over his home town supporters the deal I welcomed turned out to be nowhere near as good for Cardiff as I had hoped.
However, while Reece was unable to recapture his Sheffield United form, my memories of Powell are of him doing pretty well when he played - trouble was though that it was only in spells of six to eight games and then he would be out with injury again.
This trend continued throughout the 72/73 and 73/74 seasons as City battled successfully against relegation, but in 74/75 we were relegated and Powell only made six league appearances with the last of them being in October in a 3-2 home win over York.
At the end of that season, Dave Powell announced his retirement having made only 46 appearances in all competitions for the club during his three season at Cardiff (his only goal for us coming at Swindon in a 1-1 draw in March 1974).
|
Actually, my most vivid memory now of Dave Powell's time at Cardiff is of the pre-match kick about in his debut game against Bristol City at Ninian Park when young City midfield player Billy Kellock, pictured right, was felled by a shot hit by one of his team mates and had to receive treatment which, I think, delayed the kick off for a while - I've always imagined that the conversation between Powell and Gil Reece upon seeing this would have been along the lines of "what the *!$£ have we joined here?"! |
Billy Kellock |
It's hard to recall how good or bad Dave Powell was for Cardiff with any accuracy after all of these years, but I do remember feeling reassured when he was made his comeback from his latest injury because I always thought of
him as a classy centre back who I would have loved to have seen playing for us before he broke his leg. | | |
