compo 6,126 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I see he passed away the 1966 full back a good steady player who did his job and did it well and a one club player at that , with Fulham for his whole career . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,153 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Archetypal English fullback. Knew how to defend. Didn’t bomb up and down the wing or take corners, though. You know what? It didn’t matter. There were wingers to do that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Alf Ramsey said Cohen was the best fullback England ever produced. Amazing to think he survived bowel cancer for 46 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,153 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 You can’t argue with Ramsay in the matter of full-backery, a trade which he plied with distinction. Other contenders are Jimmy Armfield and Cohen’s international partner, Ray Wilson. Highbury used to be the full-back factory. Order by the pair and you might have got Dixon and Winterburn. One of them, can’t remember which, scunnered David Ginola of English football with thunderous tackling in a cup replay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
