Seventies Bull Ken Mallender 70 today

Ken Mallender who played for The Bulls during the early seventies including the famous Newcastle game today celebrates his 70^th birthday.

Mallender started his footballing career at Sheffield United in 1961 where he remained until a move to Norwich in 1968 where he regularly captained the side.  During the later stages of his time at Sheffield he would have shared his time on the pitch with Colin Addison and it was John Charles who brought him to Edgar Street in 1971.

Ken scored the vital equalizer at The Hawthorns to pave the way for victory over Northampton in the second replay that was to lead to the epic match against Newcastle.

Following his time with The Bulls, Mallender spent time playing in The North American Soccer League for Miami Toros and later returned to his Hereford home to complete his playing days at Telford.

Not a lot got past him.  Have a good day Ken.
