Russell Green, a former blacksmith's apprentice, was an exceptionally strong and fit player, once described as 'a "they shall not pass" sort of player'.[4] He was part of Lincoln City's famous "Great Escape" team of 1957-58, which seemed doomed to relegation from Division 2, but then narrowly avoided the drop by winning all their last 6 games.[5] Although wing-half was probably his favoured position, Lincoln City manager Bill Anderson frequently played the versatile Green at fullback. During the 1961-62 season he also served a stint playing at centre forward, and scored a match-winning hatrick when Lincoln beat Newport County 3-2.[6] Subsequently, as captain and player coach at Gainsborough Trinity, Green again played in a variety of positions, this time including centre-half. He led Trinity to the Midlands Counties League championship in the 1966-67 season.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Russell Green|url=http://hugmansfootballers.com/player/7721|publisher=Barry Hugman's Footballers Post-War Premier & Football League Players' Records|accessdate=18 September 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Green, Russell}}{{England-footy-midfielder-1930s-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.neilbrown.newcastlefans.com/lincoln/lincoln.html|title=LINCOLN CITY : 1946/47 - 1986/87 & 1988/89 - 2007/08|accessdate=5 August 2009|publisher=Post War English & Scottish Football League A - Z Player's Transfer Database}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.redimps.com/archive3/index.mv?cat=players&drop=playerdetsdrop&play=gree03|title=Profile|publisher=RedImps.com}} 4. ^N.H.B.
