Frank Blunstone, 92 years young

Frank Blunstone, the oldest living England international, was 92 this week. He played for Chelsea in the 1954/55 title winning side, fought back from two broken legs and was a star of the 1962/63 promotion side. Robert Barrett, a lifelong Chelsea supporter, is a friend of Frank's and went to see him the other day.

Robert asked if I had any press cuttings he could give to Frank, and I found those below. These relate to his Crewe, Chelsea and England debuts, as well as his transfer to Chelsea (the Crewe manager who sold him was Harry Catterick, future Everton boss) and his testimonial.
