Bedford Jezzard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bedford Jezzard, (born Clerkenwell London October 19, 1927 – May 21, 2005), was a football player, spending all of his career as a striker at Fulham, throughout the 1940s and 1950s. He holds the club's post-war record for league goals scored in a season - 38 in 1953-1954. He also won two England caps. Jezzard later managed Fulham from 1958 until 1964, taking them back into the First Division. He became discontented with the changes in football culture in the mid-1960s - essentially the abolition of the maximum wage, which led to the concentration of power in the hands of the richer clubs - and retired to run a pub. Towards his end he suffered from Multi-infarct dementia.
