[edit] Club career in England

Ivor Broadis was a Second World War RAF navigator, completed 500 flying hours on Wellingtons and Lancasters but was never on a bombing mission. During the war he'd guested as an amateur for Manchester United, and for Tottenham Hotspur in the London League. At the end of the war he was posted to Crosby-on-Eden, near Carlisle. When Carlisle United heard of his proximity, when he was just 23, they offered him the player/manager's position in August 1946. Broadis is the first ever manager to transfer himself to another club when he sold himself to Sunderland in January 1949 for £18,000.

Alongside the likes of Len Shackleton and Wales' Trevor Ford, Broadis scored 27 goals in 84 appearances

Ivor Broadis moved to Manchester City in October 1951, this time a fee of £25,000.

Newcastle United signed Ivor Broadis two years later for £20,000. The team already included the imposing likes of Jackie Milburn, Scotsmen Bobby Mitchell and Frank Brennan, Len White and Welshman Ivor Allchurch. It was here that Broadis probably played his finest football. Certainly the Geordie crowd accepted Broadis as one of their own and still do to this day.

Ivor Broadis returned to Carlisle in July 1955, when, the then United manager Fred Emery signed him as player/coach for a fee of £3,500. He remained at Brunton Park until June 1959.

[edit] Club career in Scotland

Broadis joined Dumfries side Queen of the South for the last of his playing days in 1959. With Ivor's engine still running the inside forward clearly enjoyed his fine displays at Queens later saying, "The two seasons I spent at Palmerston were the best of my career'.^[1]

In his time at QoS he hit four goals on Boxing day 1959 in a 7 - 1 home win over Queens Park. The Doonhamers' other goals came from Percy Dunlop (2) and Bobby Black. The consolation goal for Queens Park was scored by future Aberdeen and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.^[2]

[edit] International career

Ivor Broadis earned 14 caps for the England national football team, scoring 8 goals.

In both Broadis' England games at Hampden Park he played in front of crowds over 130 000.

Argentina v England was abandoned at 0-0 after 22 minutes due to a rain storm.

Broadis was the only England player able to score when the Hungary Golden Team including Ferenc Puskás, Sándor Kocsis, Zoltán Czibor, Nándor Hidegkuti and József Bozsik scored 7 when giving England a footballing lesson in Budapest in May 1954. This is still England's record defeat. Broadis hadn't played when the Hungarians won 6 - 3 at Wembley the previous November.

In his 3 games at the 1954 FIFA World Cup Broadis scored 2 goals both against Belgium. Broadis was the first Englishman to score twice in a game in the World Cup finals.

[edit] Later days

Ivor Broadis has lived in the same Carlisle semi since 1955.

After playing and coaching Ivor Broadis became a football journalist spending 45 years in the press box.

Ivor Broadis was stopped outside Hampden Park when heading towards Gretna's Scottish Cup semi-final in 2006 for being in possession of an offensive weapon, namely a vacuum flask. He'd four sandwiches, too. "Someone passing told the polis that I'd played at Hampden, against Scotland. He let me in on condition that I didn't drink the tea."
