Russell Green (13 August 1933 – 21 April 2012) was an English professional footballer who played as a wing half.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hugmansfootballers.com/player/7721 )〕 ==Career== Born in Donington, Green made 125 appearances in the Football League for Lincoln City between 1957 and 1964,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LINCOLN CITY : 1946/47 - 1986/87 & 1988/89 - 2007/08 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Profile )〕 and also played non-league football for Corby Town and Gainsborough Trinity. Russell Green, a former blacksmith's apprentice, was an exceptionally strong and fit player, once described as 'a "they shall not pass" sort of player'.〔N.H.B. "City one step nearer to safety", ' 'The Lincolnshire Echo' ' Lincoln 24 April 1958.〕 He was part of Lincoln City's famous "Great Escape" team of 1957-58, which seemed doomed to relegation from Division 2, but then narrowly avoided the drop by winning all their last 6 games.〔Halford, Brian. "Past Imperfect - the Story of Lincoln City", The Parrs Wood Press, Manchester, 2000. ISBN 1-903158-04-4〕 Although wing-half was probably his favoured position, Lincoln City manager Bill Anderson frequently played the versatile Green at fullback. During the 1961-62 season he also served a stint playing at centre forward, and scored a match-winning hatrick when Lincoln beat Newport County 3-2.〔N.H.B. "Green hat-trick captures the points", ' 'The Lincolnshire Echo' 'Lincoln 24 March 1962.〕 Subsequently, as captain and player coach at Gainsborough Trinity, Green again played in a variety of positions, this time including centre-half. He led Trinity to the Midlands Counties League championship in the 1966-67 season.〔The Lincolnshire Echo' 'Lincoln April 1967.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russell Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
