Good article about one of my favourite players. He went to school with my brother-in-law and they played in the school team together. He said that he was always a strong tackler and afraid of nothing, in spite of not being very big. He said that it was no surprise when he got picked up by Burnley and went on to have a good career.
The mention of Jack Hixon reminded me of his legendary status up here in the north east and I often wonder just how many players he sent off for trials and just how many matches he attended.
