Alex Young (footballer, born 1937)
He described himself as shy from an understandably over-watchful mother having to cope with the death of a son five years older than Alex being fatally hit by a car.With Hearts' 'Terrible Trio' forward line of Jimmy Wardhaugh, Willie Bauld and Alfie Conn, Sr at their peak, Young played at right wing.A capacity crowd watched a tense game in which Rangers keeper, George Niven, was man of the match.They led the league championship in December but with injuries taking their toll they lost 6–0 in a visit to Ibrox Park.Dave Mackay was sold in March to Tottenham Hotspur,[9] but Hearts fought back into contention when they won 2–0 against Rangers in April.[22] Young later played briefly for Stockport County for 23 games before a knee injury forced his retirement aged 31.[23] His full international debut for Scotland came in April 1960, in a 1–1 draw against England attended by 129,193 fans at Hampden Park.[11] His son, Jason, became a professional footballer in the 1990s but could not match his famous father's prowess, and spent his career mostly in the Scottish lower divisions.[28] Young was included in the Football League's "100 Legends of the 20th Century" in 1999,[29] and in August 2001 Everton gave him a testimonial at Goodison Park, which over 20,000 fans attended.[27] Ken Loach's 1968 docu-drama, The Golden Vision, concerned a group of Everton fans and was named after Young, who also appears on-screen.
