  • Alexander "Alex" Russell Elder is a retired Northern Irish football left back, who played for Burnley. He still lives in Burnley today. Elder was the very last piece in Harry Potts Championship jigsaw, signing aged 17 in January 1959 for £5,000 from Irish League club Glentoran. He spent the remainder of the 1958/59 season in the Burnley reserves, remaining there when the 1959/60 season began. By the eighth game of that season he made his first team debut against Preston and the great Tom Finney. He was said to plays a very mature game for someone with so little experience of top-class football. Although not quick on the turn, he timed his tackles well and invariably mades good use of the ball.
