About Paul Went
Paul Frank Went was an English footballer who played professionally for five clubs over a fifteen-year period. He was one of that generation who bridged the gap between terminological eras, beginning his career as a centre-half and ending it as a central defender despite playing a similar role throughout. Went, by contrast, was voted "Player of the Year" at the end of his first season. After two eventful years in Wales, Went returned to his home town to rejoin his first club. After an apprenticeship he broke into the Orient first team in 1966, becoming the club's youngest ever player, and played 50 games for the club before being transferred to Charlton in June 1967. Went became a crowd favourite at Ninian Park, replacing Mike England in the Bluebirds' defence.
