  • Albert Quixall, was an English football player who played as an inside-forward. Quixall started his career with Sheffield Wednesday, signing as an amateur in 1948 and turning professional in 1950. He made his debut in February 1951 as a 17-year old centre forward and went on to play almost 250 League games, scoring 66 League and Cup goals with the Owls. He was in his prime with Sheffield Wednesday, and gained much media attention, becoming the Golden Boy of British football. Quixall joined Manchester United in September 1958 for a then British record fee of £45,000, one of Matt Busby's key recruits in building a new team in the aftermath of the Munich air disaster, which had killed eight players and ended the careers of two others on 6 February that year. After seven games without a win for United, Quixall eventually helped the team go on a run of only two losses in 23 matches to end the season as runners-up in the First Division. Quixall's only medal with the club was the 1963 FA Cup. Altogether, he scored 56 goals in 184 games for the Reds. Along with Johnny Giles and David Herd, he was dropped after Everton thrashed United 4-0 in the 1963-64 Charity Shield. He left the club at the end of the season, moving to Oldham Athletic for £7,000. Before retiring from playing in 1968, he spent a couple of years with Stockport County and Altrincham. Quixall was capped five times for England between 1954 and 1955 at the age of 19. He also made Schoolboy, Under 23 and 'B' appearances for his country, and played for a Football League representative side on four occasions.

  • Albert Quixall er en engelsk tidligere fotballspiller. Han spilte blant annet for Sheffield Wednesday og Manchester United. Han ble tidlig ansett som en lovende spiller, og var en av Sheffield Wednesdays store spillere på 1950-tallet. Han spilte 5 landskamper for England, og var med i VM-troppen i 1954. I 1958 ble han solgt til Manchester United for daværende rekordsum 45 000 pund, som en viktig brikke i puslespillet med å sette sammen et nytt United-lag etter München-ulykken i februar 1958. Han innfridde slettes ikke forventningene med det første. Manchester United spilte sju kamper på rad uten å vinne etter at Quixall ble kjøpt inn, men etterhvert klarte han å vise at han også kunne sakene sine. Han ble aldri den største stjernen på Old Trafford, men han var viktig i en vanskelig gjennopbyggingsfase. Etter at han ble satt ut av laget som skulle spille Charity Shield-kampen mot Everton FC i 1964, ba han om å bli solgt. Han gikk til Oldham Athletic for 7 000 pund. Han avsluttet så sin fotballkarriere med en sesong i Stockport County FC i 1967, dessuten spilte han et par kamper for Altrincham i 1968.
