Jimmy Armfield
Jimmy Armfield was born on September 21, 1935, in Denton, England, and was one of the greatest right-backs in the history of English football. He spent his entire playing career at Blackpool, from 1954 to 1971, with approximately 627 games for the club. For the English national team, he played 43 matches between 1959 and 1966 and was captain in 15 of them. He was a starter in the 1962 World Cup, in Chile, when England fell in the quarterfinals against Brazil. He was part of the 1966 World Cup squad, but did not play in the tournament won by England, as George Cohen took over the right-back position. In 2009, the members of the championship squad who did not play received commemorative medals. As a coach, he managed Bolton Wanderers between 1971 and 1974 and Leeds United between 1974 and 1978, leading the English club to the final of the 1975 European Cup. Later he was a commentator and radio broadcaster. He died on January 21, 2018, at the age of 82.
