Harold Michael England, (born 2 December 1941) is a Welsh former footballer and manager.

Playing career

In a storied career at Tottenham Hotspur he won four major trophies: The FA Cup in 1967, the UEFA Cup in 1972, and the League Cup in 1971 and 1973.

England was overtaken as the youngest Wales permanent captain by Aaron Ramsey in 2011.

Management career

He managed the Wales national team from March 1980 to February 1988. England was sacked as Wales manager on 3 February 1988 after failing to qualify for the 1988 European Championships. That was to be the final job he would ever have in football. He later managed a nursing home in North Wales, and then owned two nursing homes and ran his own timber business.
