Info:
"Known for his skilful wing play and expert passing, 'Little Joe' - named after the character in the popular television series Bonanza - was much loved for bringing joy to a sometimes lacklustre period for the Gunners."
"Although a bit of a light-footed man, he was adept at evading challenges from the ruthless defenders of the era. And he complemented his wealth of assists with nine goals for the club, including a classic brace against Chelsea in 1959."
"On occasion, the 5ft 3in Dubliner, who wore the Gunners' No11 shirt on and off during the second half of the 1950s and the following decade, overdid his trademark trickery and lost the ball and, with it, the team's attacking momentum. When this happened, there were boos from the stands, but such was his charm, both as a performer and as a personality, that he often redeemed himself with a sudden, charming move and was once again the laughing left winger who could dribble his way into all but the hardest of hearts."
"Perhaps understandably, given his size, 'Little Joe' (nicknamed after a character in the popular television western series Bonanza) was not much for physically taking on muscular defenders and had a particular way of getting out of their way. This habit was punctuated one Christmas by the arrival at Highbury of a Christmas card addressed to Haverty featuring a spectacularly agile kangaroo. To his credit, he laughed louder than anyone else at the joke, reflecting his pleasant, easy-going nature."
"Joe was an old-fashioned winger, short in stature but very quick. He would take on players, outrun them and cross in."
