First of the club's great goalkeepers, Joe stepped up to the first team when County joined the League. A regular for 4 seasons before moving to Clapton Orient, County fans were delighted when the committee paid a large fee to re-sign him. Joe later won the League championship and played in the FA Cup Final for Sunderland. SCAN 26
