It is with great sadness that we learned of the recent passing of two former Corinthian-Casuals players - Mike Greenwood (pictured) and Pat Vaughan.

Mike Greenwood

The death has occurred at the end of April 2021 of Mike Greenwood, the former England and Great Britain Amateur International. He was aged 86.


 Most of Mike’s football was played for Bishop Auckland between 1959 and 1962 but he joined the Corinthian-Casuals in March 1961 for a short period. 

Born on 9th April 1935, Michael Greenwood attended Loughborough College and captained their soccer eleven as well as the U.A.U side. In March 1958, whilst at Loughborough, he appeared in an England Amateur trial match playing right-half against Crystal Palace and in September 1958, he played for the British Universities v South African Universities at Reading FC. One week later, he captained the Northern Counties against Southern Counties in an Amateur International Trial at Ilford FC (Brian Wakefield, then of Northern Nomads, was the Northern Counties’ goalkeeper). 

Greenwood made his England debut seven days later against Finland at Dulwich Hamlet, being reported as ,”this strong, fearless and hardworking wing-half... made a fine debut.” In all he was capped seven times for England. 

Having played in a number of GB Olympic Trial matches throughout the 1959-1960 season he was chosen for the GB team at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. In June 1960, prior to the Games, he went on tour to the Caribbean with the Middlesex Wanderers.

He completed his PE course at Loughborough in 1958 and commenced his teaching career in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He worked for the Sports Council in West Yorkshire and also worked at Lilleshall for the National Sports Council. 

His brief career with the Corinthian-Casuals began when he appeared for the Reserves against Ilford Reserves on the 18th March 1961 at the Hawker Sports Ground in Kingston; his only First team match for the Corinthian-Casuals was in the Isthmian League, away at Walthamstow Avenue on the 15th April 1961. On the 29th April 1961, as a Corinthian-Casuals player, he was a reserve for England in their Amateur International against France at Dulwich Hamlet. 

During the 1961 closed season he toured the Far East and New Zealand with a combined FA amateur - professional side with Tom Finney as the player-manager. The Corinthian-Casuals newsletter of 28th July 1961 announced, “It is regretted that Mike Greenwood finds that the long journey from Sheffield each Saturday conflicts with his duties at school and he has reluctantly decided that he cannot join us this season.”


P.H. Vaughan

Corinthian-Casuals first-team player Pat Vaughan died peacefully at home on 1st April 2021, aged 82.

Patrick Hallowes Vaughan was born on 16th June 1938 and displayed early footballing skills whilst at Repton School where he was four years in the soccer eleven between 1953 and 1956, being captain in his final year during which he represented the Public Schools XI. 

On going up to Clare College, Cambridge he gained his soccer blue in December 1961 at Wembley; playing at right half he assisted the light blues in their 2-0 victory. The match programme pen picture stated: ‘Now a third year historian, he has gone on considerably with the experience he gained playing for Ashfield Town in the Southern League...’ 

Most of his football was with the Old Reptonians and he played for them in five Arthur Dunn Cup Finals between 1960 and 1970 being on the winning side on three occasions. He has been described as “one of the best footballers Repton ever produced. Beautifully balanced, and a visionary passer.” 

For the Corinthian-Casuals, he made his 1st XI debut on 14th October 1960 in a friendly against Cambridge University at Kennington Oval, scoring a goal in a 2-4 defeat to the University. He played one other first team game that season. The following season he went in the Easter Tour to the Channel Islands, playing in two of the three matches. His fifth and final 1st team appearance was on 1st May 1962 in an away league fixture at Leytonstone. 

For many years he was the Master-in-Charge of football at Millfield School.
