Jack Kelsey

Date of birth19 November 1929
Place of birthLlansamlet
NationalityWelsh
PositionGoalkeeper
Died18 March 1992

Kelsey's exalted position in the pantheon of Arsenal greats is even more remarkable as the majority of his 351 games for his only league club were played during a relatively unsuccessful Gunners era. Particularly in the late fifties and early sixties, he was regarded as their only truly world-class performer. Highbury highs came early in his career when he made 25 appearances in the 1952-53 League championship winning campaign. A star of Wales' 1958 World Cup team, Kelsey won 41 caps - then a British record for a keeper.
