My comments

From the 1971 FA Cup Final programme:

At 20 seeks his second Cup medal in only two seasons of first-team football, having been in last year's Fairs Cup-winning side. Powerfully built and strong in possession, he has taken a lot of pressure off Radford, with whom he forms a formidable spearhead. Was signed professional from apprentice in November 1968.
