Harry Hibbs was a regular starter for England throughout the 1930s and brought great stability in an unstable time for the Three Lions. In the nine years leading up to his debut, England had tried over 20 different goalkeepers. However, once Hibbs found his way into the starting team, he didn't relinquish that spot. He would go on to become England's most capped goalkeeper at the time.

Explanation of the stats:

First of all, he had great positioning and understanding with his defenders. That means high Teamwork stat.

Hence the low Mentality and a relatively low value for GK skills.

Hey, thanks for the set! By the way there's no need to have () in the title and the era under the age is wrong and also not needed since you made only one set.

Thanks, I corrected it.

Saw this a few years back, I don't know if you can use it to something, but still thought I would leave it hear.
