}}Les Bennett (10 January 1918 – 29 April 1999) was an English professional footballer who played for Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.[1]

Football career

Bennett joined Tottenham as a junior in May 1939. He spent much of the World War II years serving his country with the Devon Regiment[2] in Burma, India and Egypt, before making his Football League debut against Birmingham City on 31 August 1946. The quick- thinking, energetic inside forward was an important part of the push and run side of the 1950s. He made 294 appearances and scored on 124 occasions in all competitions for the club between 1946–1954. Bennett transferred to West Ham in December 1954 playing another 26 matches and scoring three goals. In August 1956 he became player–coach for Clacton before finishing his football career at Romford in 1959-60.[3]
