Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert William "Bobby" Irvine (29 April 1900 in Lisburn, Ireland 1979 in Leicester, England) was an Irish footballer. He played as a centre or inside forward. A sublime dribbler and a master of ball control, Bobby Irvine was amongst the most gifted attacking players of his generation. Signed by Everton FC for Pds. 500 in September 1921, he made his Football League debut in a 1-1 draw against Liverpool FC in November 1921 at Anfield. He quickly became a crowd favourite at Goodison Park - his bravery and determination coupled with his thrilling skills entertained the fans for six seasons. More of a creator than a scorer, Irvine normally played at inside-right, but when deployed at centre-forward he proved an effective goal-getter, best illustrated by a hat-trick against Aston Villa in January 1922.
