During a stellar 20-year career punctuated by the Second World War,
such was Tommy Lawton's prowess in front of goal he was a magnet
for spectators at a host of top-level clubs. Prior to the war, he
served Burnley and Everton with distinction; enlisted to the
British army for the war effort, he guested for a host of clubs.
After VE Day he maintained his career average of more than one goal
every other game - with Everton, Chelsea, Notts County, Brentford,
as player manager, and Arsenal; before another spell as player boss
at Kettering. In 46 England games either side of the war and
including wartime fixtures, he plundered 46 goals. Those impressive
stats would surely be even more so but for the war. Deadly in the
air or with either foot, and renowned for his sportsmanship - he
was never booked throughout his career - Head and Shoulders Above
the Rest is an ode to a swashbuckling centre-forward and the man
Stanley Matthews described as: 'Quite simply, the greatest header
of the ball I ever saw.'
