A lot of kids walking around outside the East Stand or reading this may well have wondered who the old boy was on the statue, what was the fuss about?
Let me add a bit of context to that: In the ‘50s Hungary was to football as the young Elvis was to rock’n’roll… then they met Ivor! 💥🎉 |  |

My father used to take me to the Vetch when I was 6 years old and upwards, it would have been in the early to mid 50’s. We used to stand on the railway sleepers on the East bank under the old score board.
He used to say to me, “Just keep your eyes on that fair haired inside forward”. It was a magical time. |  | | |

I remember watching him take a current at the time Scottish international Ian Ure to the cleaners when playing Arsenal in the cup, i think Bobby gould scored for the gunners but Ivor Allchurch was at the end of his career what a guy and for me was one of if not the best all round player i have ever seen ( and at my age have seen a few lol) |  | | |
