Hi dionysius3, The player is Jimmy Dickinson. "Jimmy Dickinson holds a unique place in Pompey history. Many famous names in soccer have served their clubs with distinction and dedication but surely the most distinguished and loyal of all was 'Gentleman Jim.' He was one of the great names in football during the game's golden age after World War Two when crowds flocked back to soccer in their millions." (...) "His sound, consistent and unobtrusive performances earned him England recognition too - a total of 48 appearances for his country made him Pompey's most capped player of all time. More significantly he played 764 league games for Pompey - a record for one player at a single club which was not broken until Swindon's John Trollope went six better in 1980." My Sport Today: Names that will live forever http://www.mysporttoday.co.uk/mk4custompages/CustomPage.aspx?PageID=47243&SiteCode=&SportCode= From SoccerBase: Portsmouth all time records Most capped player Jimmy Dickinson: 48 England League appearances Jimmy Dickinson: 764 1946/65 http://www.soccerbase.com/team_records.sd?teamid=2049 Search criteria: England soccer player 764 48 "Jimmy Dickinson" 764 48 England I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions regarding my answer please don't hesitate to ask before rating. Best regards, Rainbow |
