Most keepers had gloves and a hat (flat cap).
They would throw them in the back of the net.
The hat would come out when needed so the peak kept the sun out of the goalies eyes.
The gloves were for when it was muddy.
I had the cap that Vic Rouse the Crystal Palace goalie threw to Ray Thomas when they beat us 5-1 at home.
It was lashing it down and he turned and felt sorry for Ray and gave him his cap. It then rained heavier and thundered and lightened so the ref took the players off for ten minutes. They were two or three nil up so came out for the restart long before us.
It was the Finningley air display the same day so loads probably got soaked there as well.
I also remember the Exeter keeper taking a goal kick and his hat fell off.
Cue King Alick to send it thundering into the net from 40 yards as the goalie was picking it up.
