James Richard Rogers (31 December 1929 – December 1996) was an English footballer who played as an outside right and centre forward. He made over 340 Football League appearances in the years after the Second World War. Career Jimmy Rogers was a livewire opportunist who delighted in telling the world that he was lethal in front of goal – from six inches! Rogers was equally effective on the wing or at centre forward. In particular he had an instinct for rebounds that verged on the uncanny. The description "poacher" could have been coined for Rogers. Rogers had fine ball control and bags of determination, he was also firmly of the "if they kick me then I'll kick them back" persuasion and few defenders were able to intimidate him. In summary Jimmy Rogers was a humorous and intelligent person. Jimmy Rogers played locally for Rubery Owen in the Midlands and represented the Combined Services. Rogers joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Rubery Owen in May 1948. Bob Wright signed Rog ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyril Williams
Cyril Edward Williams (17 November 1921 – January 1980) was an English footballer who played as an inside left. He made over 360 Football League appearances in the years after the Second World War. Career When on song Cyril Williams, known as "Twinkletoes" by the Bristol City fans, could tackle briskly, torment opponents with a bewitching dribble followed by an accurate imaginative pass with perfectly judged weight. Williams was a humorous quick witted individual who it is said once pleaded "You can't do that on Christmas Day" with a referee about to send City goalkeeper Frank Clack off after a fracas at a Christmas Day match in 1948 at Aldershot. The referee reversed his decision and City left with a 0–0 draw. At his most dangerous when a forward, like John Atyeo, nodded a hefty City clearance down to Williams who would place a precision through ball for the knowing forward to sprint on to. Cyril Williams played locally in Bristol. Bob Hewison signed Williams in May 1939 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fratton Park
Fratton Park is a football ground in Portsmouth, England, which is the home of Portsmouth F.C. Fratton Park remains as the only home football ground in Portsmouth FC's entire history. The early Fratton Park was designed by local architect Arthur Cogswell and built in 1899 on the site of a market garden in Milton, a Portsea Island farming village. In 1904, Milton and the rest of Portsea Island became part of Portsmouth. Fratton Park's Portsea Island location means it is uniquely the only football ground in English professional football which is not on the mainland of Great Britain. Portsmouth's football ground was deceptively named as "Fratton Park" by the club's founders, to persuade supporters that the new Milton-based football ground was within walking distance of neighbouring Fratton's railway station; the true distance between the railway station and football ground is actually one mile, or a ten-minute walk. Fratton Park was first opened to the public on Tuesday 15 Au ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
