You do not earn a nickname like the 'singing winger' without having an eventful life and no one can say Colin Grainger did not live his to its fullest.
Grainger, who has died at the age of 89, was once the fastest wide man in English football, running down the wing for Sheffield United, Sunderland, Leeds and more. He famously scored twice against Brazil on his England debut.
Yet it was his talent for singing which saw this West Yorkshire-born footballer sign to the HMV record label.
He found success in this new career, too, even sharing the bill with the Beatles at shows in Stockport and Manchester in 1963 while he was a player for Port Vale.
