Ian Maguire And His Dad

At least I think his first name was Ian. I recall him as being an intelligent, slightly built, and quietly spoken lad. He attended Ushaw Moor Secondary Modern in the early 1960s. I have an idea that he played for the school's intermediate football side  and recall that he took some interest in the school's first team.

His father was Teddy Maguire [1917-1990]. Teddy was a fine footballer and  played for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 1939 FA Cup Final. In the final Portsmouth were very much the underdogs but on the day Wolves were well beaten. Teddy's other clubs were Willington, Swindon Town, Halifax Town and Spennymoor United. I know that Soccer Gleghorn had a spell with Spennymor United so perhaps they were briefly team mates - although  maybe not as they were both wingers.
