About
As a professional football coach and football scout, Edward 'Ted' Buxton is well known in the world of
professional football. He has travelled the world, scouting, assessing and negotiating for players working in the
UK, USA and China. But had it not been for football, Ted's prospects would have been no better than other working class lads from South London...
A tough Docklands upbringing during the Blitz, and subsequent conscription for national service, lead 18-yearold Ted away from playing football, to Malaya and the brutal realities of war. But it is here that he developed his instinct to survive: kill or be killed. After the war, knowing he'll never make the big time as a player, Ted realized his aptitude for coaching and spotting talent.
