Alfie Conn: The player who sat on the ball against Leeds and played for both Celtic and Rangers

This week marks 40 years since Alfie 'King' Conn left Tottenham for Celtic and here, Retro Football Blog looks back at the long-haired trickster with balls the size of church bells. They'd have to be pretty big to play for BOTH Old Firm clubs and antagonise Billy Bremner among other things...

Picture this: It's the final day of the season and Tottenham are in danger of being relegated to the Second Division in 1975. To survive they have to play against a quality Leeds side who were about to play Bayern Munich in the European Cup final and counted the likes of Joe Jordan, Peter Lorimer and Bremner as players.
