The greatest ever Russian outfield player who was sent to the Gulag at the height of his powers.

Interesting story.
Concocted rape charge by the looks of it.

The woman he supposedly raped was seen laying flowers at his grave.

Robin Friday - supposed to have been a cracking player but an absolute mentalist. Bought a book about him after hearing about him on here. He famously kicked Mark Lawrenson in the face.

Was gonna post the same and I'll add allegedly shat in his (Lawrenson's) kit bag after getting sent off for the aforementioned kick.

Top goal scorer in English league football is Arthur Rowley.

Most people have never heard of him.

434 league goals.

There was a guy on the other day with a question about a guy scoring over 200 goals for Arsenal & Man Utd. David Herd, Scottish Internationalist. Didn’t know he existed until that thread.

I think David Herd played in the same game as his father, Alec Herd. I'm not sure if they were on the same side.

Both were capped for Scotland.

Great story!

There is a documentary about it, I’ve never seen it though.

Robin Friday.

Had never heard of the guy until I read his book.

An excellent read
