Alex Chico Scott - on his way to Spurs & the Catt intercepted him at Crewe Train Station - made him a better offer & we signed him - Chico was the name Celtic nicknamed him as - he was surplus to requirements at Celtic as a certain young Jimmy Johnston had displaced him from the line-up - Chico as he was affectionately known was lightning fast winger....purchased in 1963 -
The most adorned EFC no 9 I witnessed as a young kid - on his day unplayable - lacked consistency - his ball skills were 2nd to non a small no 9 - he glided over the muddy pitches back then he could get up high in the air & had the ability to hang up there timing the cross to perfection - it was stated a certain Bally came to us just to play alongside the GV -
