Warney Cresswell
Warneford "Warney" Cresswell (5 November 1897 – 20 October 1973) was an English international footballer who was described as "The Prince of Full Backs" for his renowned tackling and positional skills in the right-back position.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dixies60.com/2009/12/29/top-60-everton-players-47-warney-cresswell/ )〕 In a seventeen-year career in the Football League he made 571 league appearances, and won seven caps for England.
He began his career during World War I, playing in the Scottish Football League with Morton, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian, before signing with English Second Division club South Shields in 1919. Three years later he moved into the First Division when he was bought by Sunderland for a world-record fee of £5,500. He made 190 league and cup appearances and helped the "Black Cats" to a second-place finish in 1922–23, before moving on to Everton for £7,000 in 1927. He helped the "Toffees" to win the Football League championship in 1927–28 and 1931–32, the Second Division championship in 1930–31, the FA Cup in 1933, and the FA Community Shield in 1928 and 1932.
He turned to management with Port Vale in May 1936, and moved on to Northampton Town twelve months later. He later managed Dartford. He has also been credited with the quote: "Good goalkeepers never make great saves".〔(Warney Cresswell quote page ), ''Said What?'' web site, retrieved on 17 December 2006.〕
==Playing style==
Cresswell played in the right-back position. He was a renowned tackler〔 and famed for his cool demeanour, fine tackling and masterful positional play. He became hugely popular with fans wherever he played, establishing a reputation as a 'gentleman', both on and off the pitch. He has been described, during his Everton days, as: "A stylish English fullback, who made "modern" runs forward and usually stole the ball from the opposition with skillful rather than crude tackling".〔(ToffeeWeb: Dixie Dean's Era )〕 One player recounted how his leg was broken following a collision with Cresswell, who appeared later at the hospital with a pouch of smoking tobacco,〔(mediacave.co.uk )〕 which at the time was probably considered more manly than flowers or a bag of grapes.
