More information:
Sir Alf is so well known as manager of the England World Cup-winning team that it's hard to appreciate him as a player. You can see him playing while wearing that England blazer, shouting with the clipped tones of James Mason: 'I say old thing, there appears to be a man, as it were, on you.' However, he was a quick thinking, creative full back for whom Spurs paid a record £21,000 in 1949.

More information:
Don Howe's career ended with a broken leg in 1966, or who knows, he might have been part of England's most famous team. Like Sir Alf, he has attained more fame since retiring as a player, as a coach with Arsenal and England, but he too was an intelligent, ball-playing defender. Considered one of the greatest coaching brains in football we've ever produced he was also an accomplished and disciplined defender, already a student of the game before he lost his hair.
