Club career

Early career

Turner originally played at centre-half for his local team, South Bank.[1] However, during a match against Huddersfield Reserves, he played as a goalkeeper and was noticed by Huddersfield Town manager, Ian Greaves, who signed him as a professional in October 1970.[2]

He transferred to Grimsby Town in March 1972 where he first became acquainted with manager Lawrie McMenemy.[2]

Southampton

In March 1974, Southampton were seeking a replacement for long-time goalkeeper, Eric Martin, so McMenemy, who was by now Southampton's manager, went back to his former club, Grimsby, to sign Turner.[2]

He was the first choice keeper for the next few seasons, and in May 1976 was part of the Southampton team who beat Manchester United 1–0 in the FA Cup final.[3] Manchester United started stronger, and missed several early goalscoring opportunities, with Turner making a series of impressive saves to deny Gerry Daly and Gordon Hill.[4][5]

He was a brave and reliable keeper, but at the start of the 1976–77 season he injured his left knee and required an operation to remove both cartilages.[6][3][7] After his return to fitness he only made occasional appearances, including three appearances in European games against Olympique Marseille (twice) and Napoli.[8][9][10] He started the following season as first-choice keeper, but after eight games he lost his place to Peter Wells in October 1977.[6]

He left Southampton in the summer of 1978 to play for Fort Lauderdale.[3] In his five years at The Dell, he made 107 first team appearances for Southampton.[6]

Other clubs

During his career, he played on loan at various clubs, including Walsall, Newport County, Lincoln City, Luton Town and Halifax Town and spells at various non-league clubs including Witney Town, Salisbury City, Waterlooville.[6]

Coaching career

In 1987, Turner became manager of Romsey Town before becoming manager of Brockenhurst several months later.[1][6] In 1992, he had a second stint with Romsey Town.[6][1] He also managed AFC Totton in 1993.[6][1]

After football

After leaving football, he worked as an engineer in the oil industry in the North Sea and Middle East, and later worked for UK Construction.[7]
