John Aston established himself with UNITED in the mid-sixties and whilst he
lacked the charisma of some of his more celebrated colleagues,which
sometimes made him butt of unfair abuse, he was nevertheless a most
effective outside-left.
His chief assets were great pace and commitment which included a
determined willingness to tackle back in defence. He was also a player
for the big occasion, never better illustrated than in the European Cup
Final win against benfica at Wembley in 68, when he quite literally had
the game of his life.
A championship winner with UNITED in 67, John joined Luton Town for a fee
of 30.000 pounds in 72. He assisted the Hatters to promotion into Div One,
as runners up to Middlesborough in 74.

FLC 12 - 0 g
