Bedford "Beddy" Jezzard, who has died aged 77, first played for Fulham as an amateur and, in the best sense, remained one, throughout his association with the club, as player and then manager.
In 1953-54 he scored 38 goals as centre-forward, and his reward was to be one of the lambs led to the slaughter in Budapest.
With such characters as Haynes and Jimmy Hill in the team, a manager as modest as Jezzard was needed.
BedfordJezzard, (born Clerkenwell London October 19, 1927 – May 21, 2005), was a football player, spending all of his career as a striker at Fulham, throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
Jezzard later managed Fulham from 1958 until 1964, taking them back into the First Division.
He became discontented with the changes in football culture in the mid-1960s - essentially the abolition of the maximum wage, which led to the concentration of power in the hands of the richer clubs - and retired to run a pub.
