Alan Peacock

Alan Peacock (born 29 October 1937, Middlesbrough) is a former English footballer.

He spent the majority of his career at Middlesbrough, also playing for Leeds United and Plymouth Argyle. He earned 6 caps and scored 3 goals for the England national football team and represented the country in the 1962 FIFA World Cup.

He joined Middlesbrough in 1954 and became a regular in the side in 1958 alongside Brian Clough. Although Clough scored the majority of the goals, partly due to Peacock's unselfish attitude in front of goal. Clough joined Sunderland in 1961 and the following season Peacock scored 24 in 34 games. This high scoring rate earned him a place in the 1962 World Cup England squad. In 1964 he moved to Leeds United for £55,000 to help Revie's team with promotion, which was achieved that season with Peacock scoring 8 goals in 14 games. He stayed at Leeds for a further 3 seasons scoring 30 goals in 65 games, yet more frequent injuries forced his sale to Plymouth Argyle for £10,000 in 1967 where he managed only 1 season before being forced to retire due to injuries at only 30 years old in 1968. He returned to his home town after retirement.
