Joe Greaves

 

Joined Wednesday in 1892 

He didn't play any first team football so he must have played in the reserves.
At this time Wednesday played their reserve team in local football so he could have played in 

1892
Sheffield League
1/14 (1st out of 14 teams)


1893
Sheffield League
3/14
lost play off

1894
Sheffield League
1/15



He probably transferred to Barnsley before 1895 where he played 104 games between 1898 and 1902.

The books (including Barnsley's official history) say he joined Barnsley in 1989 - but I'm not convinced. A  player called Greaves
played in goal for Barnsley St Peters (as they were) from at least 1895/96 when Barnsley were in the Midland League.

I reckon it's the same bloke, but that they have only recognised him from when Barnsley played Football League football.
