Lee Chapman was after Bobby Charlton’s time. The only common denominator between John Ritchie and Lee Chapman is that they both played for Stoke City -Ritchie twice.

Perhaps that's why Shearer and Charlton had receding hair lines as young men or could it have been a Northumberland thing where they were both born ?

That doesn't make him one of the greatest headers of a ball ever, or mean he scored plenty that way. Edited October 5, 2021 by Longcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading an article about him a while ago and it was saying how good he was and his headers were amongst the most powerful ever. Maybe you can tell us how many he did score that way I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
