"The first of his two First Division appearances for Charlton Athletic had come on Boxing Day 1951, when the manager, Jimmy Seed, persuaded him to play at White Hart Lane against Tottenham. Charlton went 2-0 down, but when Pawson slipped and hopelessly mis-hit a corner, Billy Kiernan struck it home to make it 2-1; Kiernan headed the equaliser; and when Alf Ramsey, England's future World Cup-winning manager, cleared off the line, Pawson shut his eyes and drove the winner into the roof of the net."

What a life he lived.
RIP
The days of multi-sporting heroes are, sadly I think, gone.
Wow, that's a quality story!
