“Budgie” Signed by Ron Greenwood in 1962, he paid a Second Division British record transfer fee of £65,000. The 1962–63 season saw him score 14 goals in all competitions, only one behind leading scorer Geoff Hurst but that was just a taste of things to come with a remarkable 33 the following season, 1963/64.
