About Alf Milward:
“Alf Milward had a style of play that was captivating, and an address that was at once engaging and aggressive. Of more sturdy build than his partner, he was admirably proportioned both for speed and stamina, he carried no undue weight, and yet could use his body on occasion with either the propelling power of a battering ram or the speed of the fleetest of his contemporaries. Nothing was more entertaining to the club’s spectators than to see Milward at full gallop down the touch line, his arms whirling in a mad ecstasy of sheer delight, outpacing every yard the panting defence with the faithful Edgar loping along fifteen or twenty yards in the arear and slanting in towards goal for the pass he knew would come with mathematical accuracy once Milward had reached the required spot on the goal-line. “Heading” the ball had not become the habitual method of play then that it has become of later years, though even at that time some teams had discovered its unity and even developed it as a fine art.”
