More info:
"Gained his honours (during a period not too prolific of star performers) after a series of exceptionally clever displays in club matches for Aston Villa. Seen to most advantage as an inside left. Has a remarkable control of the ball, can dodge with the best, but mass much of his otherwise effective play by his impetuosity in endeavouring to do too much in the zone of the backs. On his day a dangerous shot, but apt to be erratic, as well as a trifle selfish. A good-tempered, brainy player, with some time vet in front of him."
