2 unusual facts about George Swindin


George Swindin

After the arrival of Ted Platt in 1950, Swindin was forced to share the goalkeeper's spot for 1949–50, but kept his place to play in the 1950 and 1952 FA Cup finals; Arsenal won the former against Liverpool, but lost to Newcastle United in the latter.

To begin with, his time at Arsenal was characterised by nervous and erratic displays, and he was made to share the goalkeeping spot with Alex Wilson and Frank Boulton.
