Steve Walford had the "longest legs in soccer" during his time. Came on as a substitute in place of
David Price in the
1979 FA Cup final, and was well positioned to
score if Alan Sunderland missed the cross from
Graham Rix which was incidently the winner in probably the match of
the century. Walford was tenacious and entertaining to watch.
