Great story. Isn’t he the only player to have been a first choice international as both a keeper and an outfield player?
His son, Mick, lived down the road from us in the late 70’s, when he was playing for the Albion. He used to drive a massive white Sweeney-style Ford Granada and always waved at us when he drove past. Friendly fella, even signed his Panini sticker for one of my Albion- supporting mates.
