 Although of relatively slight build compared to, say, Nat Lofthouse he was top scorer for the club on six occasions and joint top scorer in the First Division with 29 goals in 1953-54.He was an outstanding header of the ball and his most memorable achievement was heading four goals in an 8-2 victory over Everton in April 1953, all four coming from crosses from the left wing by Vic Metcalfe.With Lofthouse firmly ensconced as England centre forward and with competition from the likes of Jackie Milburn, Stan Mortensen and Ronnie Allen, it is perhaps not too surprising that his only representative honour was as reserve for a 'B' international against West Germany in March 1954.
