Somebody whose name I am familiar with however his footballing career preceded my life. Would be interested to hear if anybody does have memory of him. May he rest in peace.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

RIP. Indeed! Think he also scored 13 goals from 6 games in the '57 World Cup which seems insane. Happy to be corrected if wrong.

Played in a era when there were goals galore. Think many teams had a 2-3-5 formation. Look at some of the results in the 1958 World Cup.

My boy (9 year old) read a book about World Cup history, and now he knows more about that era than me. All those early years had some amazing players like Fontaine, Kocsis, Wilimowski, Puskas and interesting histories.
