Following my reply from John Tudor earlier this week,I got a reply from another ex Newcastle player Ollie Burton today,who also sent me back a Christmas card as well.
Alwyn Derek "Ollie" Burton is a former Welsh international , who is a member of the Norwich City F.C. Hall of Fame.
Burton began his career as a wing-half at Newport County scoring 8 times in 53 appearances. He later spent 10 years playing for Newcastle United, but regards being part of the Norwich City side that won the second-ever Football League Cup in 1962 as one of his greatest achievements.
Burton made 73 first team appearances for Norwich and scored nine goals, before moving to Newcastle in 1963, for a fee of about £35,000.
Burton was part of the Newcastle team that won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and was the first substitute ever used by Newcastle.
