About Ron Tindall
Ronald Albert Ernest Tindall was an English footballer who played as a striker. He was also an accomplished cricketer, playing for Surrey. In the 1960–61 season, they scored 59 goals between them (16 for Tindall, 43 for Greaves), a club record which still stands. Within a year, Tindall had established himself in the Chelsea first team and, though the side's form was often erratic, he struck up a prolific strike partnership with the emerging Jimmy Greaves. Upon signing for Chelsea, Tindall negotiated a special arrangement with the club, whereby he was allowed to miss the first and last months of the football season to play cricket for Surrey.
