Eddie Hapgood-One Of Britain's Best Ambassadors
Of Sport
The greatest football grounds in the world have been the scene of the triumphs of Edris Albert Hapgood, former captain of Arsenal and England. He has been cheered off the field in nearly all the capitals of Europe. And in Britain he has received his ovations at Wembley, Hamp- den Park and Highbury.
So widely travelled is he that he has been described as one of Britain's best ambassadors of sport.
On November 22 came another success which Eddle will rank among his greatest. But there was nothing grandiose about the setting.
it was at the little football ground In Both, home of non- League club Bath City. Eddie is now manager of the club, and the occasion was their 3-1 vic- tory over Third Division side Southend in the first round of the FA Cup.
