Quoted from Mayaman
Surely, there is a place for a 'jack of all trades' at a football club.


Paul Madeley, at Leeds from 1963 to 1980, made being a utility player an art form.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

An art form he's continued into his broadcasting career

One of my heroes Jock. The thing about Madeley was that he was actually better than the regulars in most of the positions he played especially across the back four. One claim to fame - he was very highly rated by Alf Ramsay who picked him for Brazil 1970 but Madeley refused because his wife was about to give birth and he felt he probably would not play anyway.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
