Heroes of Their Time

Everton - Alex Young, 'The Golden Vision',was possibly the most idolised player in the club's history. Wearing the famous No.9 jersey, he was majestic in the air and glided across the turf possessing a sublime, delicate touch as he drifted past opposing defenders. He was a legend in every sense of the word.

Chelsea - Ian Hutchinson was the original long throw expert and a magnificent header of the ball. Brave beyond belief, he was the hard working part of an impressive partnership with the gifted Peter Osgood in one of Chelsea's finest teams. Unfortunately, many broken limbs and injuries cut short the career of a well respected player.

Tottenham - John White was an ever present in the famous double winning team. His unnoticed runs into the box gave him the nickname of 'The Ghost' and his passing and ball control orchestrated this illustrious period in the clubs history. The team was never the same after his untimely death when struck by lightning aged 27 years.

Arsenal - George Armstrong was one of Arsenal's most consistent players as he breached the Billy Wright - Berty Mee eras. Standing at only 5' 6" he was a tireless runner, a tremendous crosser of the ball from either wing, setting up chances for others as Arsenal ended their long trophy drought.
