Ian Crawford (14 July 1934 – 30 November 2007) was a Scottish football player and coach, who most prominently played for Heart of Midlothian in the late 1950s.
[1] Crawford started his senior career with Hearts' Edinburgh derby rivals Hibernian, but did not make a league appearance for the Easter Road club, who enjoyed the services of the Famous Five at the time.
After a spell with Hamilton Academical, Crawford joined Hearts in August 1954.
He was transferred to West Ham United for £10,000 in July 1961,[2] where he played alongside Bobby Moore under the management of Ron Greenwood.
[1] Crawford later said that it was Greenwood's encouragement that led him to go into coaching, and he served both Everton and Arsenal in that capacity.
