Stephen Sherwood (born December 10, 1953 in Selby, England) is a former association football goalkeeper, best remembered for his time at Watford. He played for the Hornets for 11 years, making 211 league appearances[1] during Watford's most successful years under Graham Taylor and was in goal for Watford when they lost 2-0 to Everton in the 1984 FA Cup Final. He started his career at Chelsea, but failed to break into the first team, making just 16 appearances between 1971 and 1976. After Watford he played for Grimsby Town and retired from league football in 1992 at the age of 39, although he continued playing in non-league for several years afterwards. His older brother is John Sherwood, a bronze medalist for hurdles at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
