Comments
A truly stylish center half who, despite being over 6 feet tall, still won most challenges on the ground as well as virtually all in the air. He scored more than his fair share of goals and should surely have added to his single England B International cap, to play for the full International team. Unfortunately, this was not to be and he eventaully left the Club to join Wolves in 1981, in order that the Club could cash in.
