    Aye, his transfer fee to Everton was the biggest for a keeper at the time.

    Blackpool were an established 1st Division club at the time

    That probably played some part in him signing for them.

    Just wondered if he had moved over that way when he was a youngun hence the reason he signed for them.

    Blackpool had quite a few decent players in the 50's

    In fact, they signed one of the best players Barnsley has ever produced to replaced the departed Stanley Matthews, Arthur Kaye.

    Quite unsual among keepers he could throw the ball into the opponents half and rarely kicked from his hands. Darfield Foulstone pupil I believe.
