In terms of football my late father and grandparents told me that Sam Bartram was the best goalkeeper never to play for England. They said it was because he would dribble with the ball sometimes venturing quite a way up the field.
All goalkeepers have had to dribble rather than pick the ball up in the area for quite a few years.
Maybe Sam influenced that. I was too young to see him play myself which may surprise some.

Me included. Now I do feel old. I watched Sam countless times in the '50s. I'm not sure how he influenced our future exactly but club icon? All the way. My hero.
