During those dozen years, Len Goulden had a glittering career, and became an England star. He scored the final goal in the defeat of Germany in May 1938; the game being made infamous by the England players being obliged to give the Hitler salute prior to the kickoff.

Len was the tops.” ‘Golden Len Goulden’ plucks from history a player who ranks with the best ever to wear the hammers over his heart.
