Who Is This Ex Player?

Postby stevesmiff » Wed Feb 10, 2016 8:49 am

Can anyone tell me who the guy standing up with the suit and red tie is? Saw him in the stadium the other day working in hospitality areas and gathered he is an ex player but my youthfulness *cough* means I didn't recognise him.

The man in the picture is John Radford, a forward who made 481 appearances, scoring 149 and represented the Arsenal for over 14 years - from 1962 until 1976.

He did my stadium tour.

Shared a story about his favourite goal which involved him lobbing an on rushing keeper with no defenders to be seen. He said the ball lost all momentum and barely made it over the line, and it almost appeared in slow motion.... not to mention he was certain he could hear the away fans behind the goal trying to blow the ball back :lol:
