About this person

He made his only appearance for England against Scotland in April 1955, but the following month suffered a serious injury in the 17th minute of the 1955 FA Cup Final, going for an attempted tackle by his own corner flag. As substitutes were not allowed in the English game until 1965-66, City had to play the rest of the game with ten players resulting in Newcastle United winning 3-1. Meadows' injury was so serious he was forced to retire from playing, and moved into management.
