dodgy_geoff always told me about his hero Morty ️️️
Same as my dad, always said the best player he ever saw was Duncan Edwards, he must have been some player!My dad always spoke about Morty and Matthews, but said the best player he ever saw was Duncan Edwards. He was brilliant in the few games he saw him play against us, playing left back in one game, in which Matthews only rarely touched the ball.
Same with my old man who always wanted me to support ManU as the family came from Urmston in that part of the world.Duncan Edwards, very sad story, RIP
My Dad was Newcastle Utd fan, and growing up as a kid he was forever telling me about his two favourite players....one was the legendary goal machine that was Malcolm ‘Supermac’ Macdonald, the other being our very own Tony Green, who effectively made supermac into the hero he was with his creative skills.My grandad brought me up and always said Tony Green was the Scottish Pele
And Owenmy dad always told me not to trust men with beards, solid advice when you think of Shipman, Sutcliffe and Jesus...
And AllahAnd Owen
Mike England played for Wales.How ace is that?My Dad was a Sgt Major in the APTC during WW2 and came accross a lot of the sportsmen from those days, Boxers, Footballers, Rugby Players et al and I honestly can't remember all their names. But, one thing I do have is a picture of him playing in the same football team as Mike England.

Dad was a huge Bury fan, coming from there and having played at Gigg Lane himself so he used to constantly remind us of Bury 6 Derby County 0 in the Cup Final of 1903 with Tiny Bradshaw scoring a hat trick. So, in answer to the OP, Tiny Bradshaw.dodgy_geoff always told me about his hero Morty ️️️
Great choice from your dad. Agree totally about Tony Green. He was something else. UTP!My dad's favourite two players were Tony Green and Ray Charnley. He reckons Green was the best ever Blackpool player he saw, and that Charnley kept us in the old 1st division for a number of years.
