One of my old favourites with his "step over leg lock". For the memories Albie RIP.

I loved old Albie, great little player. Only one weakness - he was easily nutmegged.

Really sad for me this. He played a total of 380 games for Pompey scoring 97 goals. Hope at the next home game he is suitably remembered. RIP Albie

Nutmegs no doubt due to his bow legs, one of my favourite players of the time, R.I.P. Albie.

Sad news indeed,I saw him score a hat trick I think at Bristol City c 1967 in a 3-3 draw (although memory may be getting a bit iffy ?). Always good value as a player.
