PositionCentre forward

Although he enjoyed FA Cup Final success in 1955, it wasn't until Jackie Milburn moved on in 1957 that Len had the chance to regularly play in his preferred centre-forward role. It was a hard act to follow but he responded with at least 25 goals in each of the next four seasons.
