His volley against Everton was the first goal to be shown in colour on TV's Match of the Day in 1970 and it became BBC's goal of the season. Willie Carr flicked the ball up with his heels and after that such invention was not allowed, arguing that the ball had not "rolled" a circumference (27 inches).
He played for Swindon Town (200+ apps 82 goals), Wolves (74 apps 32 goals), Everton, Coventry (146 apps, 45 goals), Doncaster, Bristol City and LA Wolves in the USA. he also managed a few U23 international caps for England. Last recorded at Atherstone Town and Ledbury Town.

He ended up running and pub and doing some window cleaning. This snippet is worth reading....
