Vic Buckingham

Vic F Buckingham (1915? - January 26, 1995) was an English association footballer whose approach, as a manager, was a precursor of the Total Football philosophy.

Buckingham joined Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in 1935 and played 230 games as a defensive midfielder before leaving in 1949. He started his managerial career with amateur teams Pegasus F.C. and Bradford Park Avenue before attracting the attention of the senior clubs. During his management of Ajax, he spotted the young Johan Cruijff who was to go on to develop Buckingham's ideas into the mature concept of Total Football.

Managerial Career

He died in Chichester, England
