He was before my time but was told great stories about him when I was a nipper. Isn't he the goalie who played with a broken neck?

For those about to ask "Who is Bert Trautmann?" he was Manchester City's goalkeeper and in the 1956 FA Cup final against Birmingham City he broke his neck fifteen minutes from the end but carried on to the final whistle.
