Edward Patrick "Eddie" Kelly is a Scottish former football player. Kelly played for local side Possilpark Depot, before moving south to join English club Arsenal as an apprentice in July 1966; he turned professional 18 months later. A regular in the reserves and for Scotland U-23 side, he made his debut for Arsenal on 6 September 1969 against Sheffield Wednesday and quickly made a name for himself. He made 16 appearances in the 1969?70 season, including scoring a goal in the Gunners' 4?3 aggregate win over Anderlecht in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final. Better was to come the next season for the young central midfielder. Kelly made 34 appearances as Arsenal won the Double; he came on as a substitute in the FA Cup final against Liverpool, and scored the Gunners' equaliser in extra time in a goalmouth scramble; Kelly was the first substitute to score in an F A Cup final. Charlie George scored soon after to win the match 2?1. Injury hampered Kelly's next two seasons at Arsenal, but he became a near-ever present in 1974?75. He was made club captain at the age of 23; only Tony Adams has captained Arsenal at a younger age. [More at Wikipedia]
