Does anyone remember a goalkeeper playing for us call Mike Powell can't say I do

My mate is in Tenby with his wife bumped in Mike Powell in a pub

If I’ve got the right one, he was quite short for a keeper.

I remember Mike Powell in the late 70’s, he was a defender, I think he left for Barry Town. There was a goalie about the same time called Mike Dowler, as I recall he was quite short (for a keeper)

Good point, it could be Mike Dowler I’m thinking of.

The only reffence I can find is a post on line with the former players association

I'm thinking he might have been a back up keeper

I know Mike Dowler from my links with local football

Would this be him?

Yes that's what I found but can't remember him playing for us can you but he must have

Having seen the photo I remember him in County match day programmes but I’ve no recollection of him playing.

Mike played in the 70’s,mainly in the Welsh League but did make some first team games around 75.He made his debut at Scunthorpe I think,the same day as Mervin Cawston and had a few games here and there but,a few seasons in the reserves.He was a regular at games over the Bisley before Covid,haven’t seen him this season.Long career for Barry and Caerleon but,not in goals.

1975-76 season. He played 7 league games for us plus what looks like one cup game but not the FA cup. He was a right back.

County used to sign players on Welsh League forms to give stability to that side and be on standby if injuries occur in the first team.Mike Hayes was another one who had a few first team games.Jeff White and Phil Guilfoyle had a few seasons in the reserves but,unlike the two Mikes,didn’t get a first team appearance.

This guy was adamant he was a keeper said he played in the 80s also played for Abergavenny Thursdays as well

He may have played for the reserves or youth but,not for the first team,possibly a first team friendly but,I don’t recall him and I am an anorak.

According to Tony Ambrosen, Mike Powell was an outfield defender not a goal-keeper. He signed for County on amateur forms in 1971 and as a non-contract player in 1976. And again as a non-contract player in 1984.He made 7 appearances in the 4th division and 1 cup appearance in 1975/6 but otherwise played in the reserves.
