Sir Jimmy Armfield - Award for outstanding contribution to League Football

Posted on March 7, 2008

As a fan of Blackpool FC I’m proud of many players that have played for the club, Sir Stanley Matthews, Stan Mortensen, Alan Ball, Gary Briggs, Brett Ormerod, Keith Southern. For me one strands out more than any other, Sir Jimmy Armfield. A one man club, he’s still not received the recognition he requires with a new stand created in his name.

At the recent FourFourTwo awards he received n award for outstanding contribution to the Football League. The video clip below shows some highlights from the night at the Hilton in London
