Albert Quixall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Quixall (born August 9, 1933 in Sheffield), was an English football player.
Quixall started his career with Sheffield Wednesday, signing as an amateur in 1948 and turning professional in 1950. He debuted in February 1951 as a 17-year old centre-forward and went on to play almost 250 League games, scoring 66 League and Cup goals with the Owls.
In the aftermath of the 1958 Munich air crash, Manchester United bought Albert for a then record £45,000 and he helped the team to the 1963 FA Cup. Altogether, he scored some 50-odd goals during 165 games for the Reds. Soon after the signing of Denis Law, Albert was transferred to Oldham Athletic in September 1964 for £7,000. Before retiring in 1968 he spent a couple of years with Stockport County and Altrincham.
Quixall was capped 5 times for England between 1954 and 55 at the young age of 19. He also made England Schoolboy, England Under 23 and 'B' appearances, and earned four Football League caps.
