"A roly-poly little fellow who looked as if he did most of his training in restaurants. He was a natural, a grand master of the game. He was entirely left-footed but no matter how the ball came the old left foot went up and his control was instant and precise. It was as if he had glue on the toe of his boot. He seemed to glide rather than run and, a sure sign of a strong personality, he dictated the shape and pace of the game."
