Edward James Magill (known as Eddie or Ted as well as Jimmy) (born[1] 7 May 1939 in Lurgan) is a Northern Irish former footballer.
A right back, he was seen as a potential replacement for the injured Dennis Evans and played for most of the rest of that season, but lost his place in 1960–61 to Len Wills and Dave Bacuzzi.
[2] He regained the right-back spot the following season, 1961–62, sharing it with Bacuzzi, before securing the place for good in 1962–63.
In the meantime, he made his debut for Northern Ireland, and won 26 caps for his country in total.
Known for his passing and ball control, he kept his place in the Arsenal side until the signing of Don Howe at the end of 1963–64.
