My latest 1959 replies,the first from former Blackpool legend Jimmy Armfield obtained via Blackpool FC.
Jimmy Armfield, CBE, DL (born 21 September 1935 in Denton, Lancashire) is a former professional football player and manager who currently works as a football pundit for BBC Radio Five Live. He played the whole of his Football League career at Blackpool, usually at right back. Between 1954 and 1971 he played 627 games in all competitions, scored six goals, and spent a decade as the club's captain. He also captained the England national team fifteen times
My second reply was from John Hewie,which I only managed to get with the help of a fellow member who pointed me in the right direction to get John.
John Davison Hewie (born December 13, 1927 in Pretoria, British South Africa) is a former Scottish international footballer who spent most of his career with Charlton Athletic.
In October 1949 the opportunity arose for Hewie to turn professional with English side Charlton Athletic, who had already imported several other South African-based players. He would spend the next 19 years in south-east London, making over 500 appearances and playing in almost every position, including four times as a goalkeeper,when regular custodian Mick Rose was injured.
In 1956 he made his debut for the Scottish national side, playing in a 1-1 draw against England at Hampden Park. His first appearance in a Scotland shirt occurred three years earlier when he was selected for a Scotland B game in Edinburgh. Remarkably, this was the first occasion Hewie had set foot in Scotland. He made a total of 19 appearances for Scotland, predominantly at fullback, during which he scored twice. He was selected in the squad for the 1958 FIFA World Cup and missed a penalty in the 2-1 defeat by France.
Hewie briefly moved into a managerial role when he undertook the role of player-manager for non-league Kent side Bexley United.He returned to South Africa and first club Arcadia in 1968 and remained in the country of his birth until the early 1990s, at which point he returned to the United Kingdom. He still attends Charlton Athletic matches when the opportunity allows.
