Ken Brown (footballer)
Kenneth 'Ken' Brown (born 16 February 1934 in Forest Gate, London) is an English former football player and manager. As player, he made more than 400 appearances in the Football League representing West Ham United, where he spent the majority of his career, and Torquay United, and was capped once for the England national team. As manager, he took charge of Norwich City, Shrewsbury Town and Plymouth Argyle.
Playing career
Brown was playing for local Dagenham side Neville United when he signed professional for West Ham United on 16 October 1951. He quickly made his way into the reserve side, but first team football was much harder to come by, his debut eventually coming in February 1953 against Rotherham United as a replacement for Malcolm Allison. His first five years as a professional saw him only make occasional appearances for the Hammers, although national service between 1952 and 1954 did not help.
He started the 1957–58 season as first-choice in the centre of the West Ham defence, and remained there, missing only one game as West Ham won the Second Division title. On 18 November 1959, Brown made his only appearance for England, a 2–1 victory over Northern Ireland at Wembley. He was a member of the 1964 FA Cup winning side, and the following year was back at Wembley as part of the European Cup Winners' Cup winning side, playing alongside Bobby Moore.

Art and ephemera
His artwork has been exhibited in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Zurich and Tokyo. He often works in collage, and many of his images lean toward surrealism. Much of his output has been marketed on postcards, T-shirts, rubberstamps, wrapping paper, mouse pads and kitchen towels. Fine art prints have been made from his extensive collection of vintage postcards and paper ephemera.

The last of his four top-10 finishes on the Order of Merit came when he was 26. He appeared in the Ryder Cup in 1977, 1979, 1983, 1985, and 1987, and had a 4-9-0 win-loss-tie record, including two wins and two losses in singles matches.
