My comments
From the 1971 FA Cup Final programme:
This is his first F.A. Cup Final (he was in Chelsea's beaten semi-final
sides of 1965 and 1966), but he played here in Arsenal's League Cup
Finals of 1968 and 1969. Striking from midfield, he follows Kennedy and
Radford in the scoring list. Magnificent header. Originally with Aston
Villa, he joined Chelsea in June 1964 and moved to Arsenal September 1966.
Former Scotland Under-23 cap.
