Little book of Manchester United
“Busby paid a record British fee of £45,000 for the inside forward with an eye for goal.
Quixall was born in Sheffield on 9 August 1933 and turned pro with Wednesday in 1950. Blessed with sublime ball skills and a flair for invention, he rattled up 63 goals for Wednesday during an eight-year career at Hillsborough, and turned out five times for England.
He made his Old Trafford debut in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur and, after a shaky start to the season, helped his new club finish as runner...s up in the First Division. He went on to make 184 appearances for United, ending his Reds career with 56 goals.
*Albert Quixall (third from right) celebrates Manchester United’s FA Cup win in 1963 with his teammates.
Fans lucky enough to have been in Munich in August 1959, when Bayern took on United in a pre-season friendly, witnessed a special Quixall moment: he scored from 58 yards, direct from the second-half kick-off, when he spotted the German goalkeeper off his line.
Quixall picked up an FA Cup winners’ medal in 1963 before leaving the club for Oldham Athletic the following year, as a certain Denis Law arrived at Old Trafford.MoreLess
