Same header that produced the goal but from another angle.

Snuffed out of the game by John Saunders and Sugar Robinson. 
Saved this press photo that was on eBay of that header by George Andrews.
It fascinated me the newspaper wanted to move the position of the ball, to crop the picture to fit in with the print copy.

Even Bernie Wright looked impressed 
He should be. George Andrews seemed to have the ability to hang in the air when attacking crosses. Other than Tony Richards the best header of a ball I have seen in a Walsall shirt when attacking crosses. Great memories.

Well done
Now the date.
I asked George once what his secret was - Told me when he joined Cardiff City in 65 John Charles was there and it was he who taught him how to time his leaps to perfection.

Can remember my first game it was against QPR in 1967 we beat them 2-0 and I think the great Rodney marsh was playing for them I think they went on to win the league that year and where a really decent team think they got to the league cup final around that time and the Albion beat them
QPR beat Albion in the league cup final 3-2

Thanks for righting me AP been a long time agoo
Well if that’s the case it’s not surprising, he was recognised to be one of the finest headers of a ball in the game .l always remember going to a game at the old fellows park ground and we had played awful most fans had headed to the top of the bonk desperately hoping for a late goal and with the last kick of the action a cross was sent in and up rose George at the far post lingering in the air seemed a eternity and headed a great goal into the corner angle .cant remember wether it was an winner or equaliser but we all went happy .I’ve never forgotten it .

He had a good teacher then. 
It hadn’t occurred to me that their paths had crossed. Interesting.

John Charles certainly helped George a lot at Ninian Park. John was his team mate (not manager as previously mentioned ) but was a good ten years his senior and gave him advice which helped him throughout his career.
