We in the stands loved him for his honesty and endeavour. Just one problem with him.. He was like a tram on rails and couldn't turn or change direction. Great in the air and with the ball at his feet but if the ball was knocked past him he just kept going and usually flattened someone. He would be sent off every game these days. I think at Burnley he played further into midfield and had full back cover.
Only just seen this thread grumpy. Always sad when one of the players from that successful era dies.
Here, to the best of my knowledge, are those of that squad of Champions that are still with us;
Alex Elder (80), Bobby Seith (89), Ian Lawson (82) and Trevor Meredith (84).

Of the four mentioned players, Elder and Seith played the majority of games while the other two played only 8 and 7 respectively. Meredith's contribution, however, was most notable as his 7 appearances brought 3 goals; one in a 2-1 defeat, one in a 1-1 draw with Blackpool and, much more importantly, the decider in the 2-1 win over Man City which brought the title to Turf Moor.
