Brian Jackson (footballer, born 1933)

Jackson began his career as an amateur with Arsenal before he joined Leyton Orient at the age of 17. He made 38 appearances in the Third Division South for Alec Stock's O's in the 1950–51 season. He impressed in his creative performances at Brisbane Road, enough so that Liverpool manager Don Welsh paid £6,500 and part-exchanged Don Woan to bring the 18-year-old to the club in November 1951. He made his debut on 10 November 1951 at Anfield in a league match against Bolton Wanderers; Jackson's first goal for the club in the 61st minute was enough for the "Reds" to get a point from a 1–1 draw. He scored eight goals in 38 games in the 1958–59 season, ad provided many assists as the "Valiants" won the Fourth Division title. He departed the "Imps" at Sincil Bank for Peter Taylor's Southern League side Burton Albion. After leaving Eton Park, he later turned out for Boston United. ==Style of play==

Jackson was a pacey winger who excelled at providing crosses for the forwards and also had good technical skills such as penalty taking. ==Later life==
