Alick Jeffrey

Alick Jeffrey

Alick Jeffrey was an ex-player of Doncaster Rovers. He died on November 22, 2000 at the age of 61.

His first game for Doncaster Rovers was when he was 15 years of age. He had already played twice for England U-23's by the age of 17 and he was on the verge of playing for the full England side. He was going to be snapped up by Manchester United. The Manchester United Assistant Manager Jimmy Murphy called Jeffrey, "the English Pelé" - Jeffrey was the most complete forward he had ever seen. He could shoot with either foot phenomenally hard; he could head the ball with great accuracy and he could land a long pass on a sixpence! The manager of Manchester United at the time was Sir Matt Busby, and he said that if he had signed Jeffrey, then Bobby Charlton would never have played for Manchester United. Sadly Jeffrey broke his leg playing for England U23's against Bristol at Ashton Gate in October 1956.
