City legend Alf Patrick turns 100!

York City Football Club would like to wish Alf Patrick a very Happy 100th Birthday today.

Alf played for City between 1946 and 1952, scoring 117 goals in 241 league and cup appearances – which puts him fourth on the all-time goalscoring list for the club.

The York-born striker also holds the record for most goals scored in a single game for York City – with five against Rotherham United in November 1948.

Sporting Director Dave Penney visited Alf at his home yesterday on behalf of the club to present a ‘Patrick 100’ printed shirt ahead of his planned birthday party and Steve Watson sent a video message to the York City legend ahead of the milestone.

We wish Alf all the very best on his big day!
