Ivor is number one hundred of the Football League '100 league legends' which means in the opinion of the football league he was one of the best one hundred players ever to play football.

Wales's top scoring player in world cup history. Two goals (Against Mexico and Hungary) in 1958.

Could someone please tell me the name of Ivor's Father? I had a great uncle who went to live in Swansea and my grandfather Bertie Allchurch lost touch with him. He always wondered whether Ivor might have been his nephew. Does anyone have any information on Ivor's family? Thanks.

Ivor was the most skilful player produced by Wales, two footed, complete control of the ball and a cannonball shot in both feet. Poetry in motion was Ivor, simply the 'greatest'.

Ivor church was a great two footed player with a great shot who was born in Swansea but what I'd like to know is which non international team she played for, is it actually Swansea?

Ivor's sons still live in Swansea as do the rest of his family, they can be contacted there.

Ivor allchurch was my Grandfarthers cousin. Found this forum by luck just messing about searching my last name. My brother is actually nick named Ivor after him! He was a fantastic footballer, shame his skills haven't been passed down! Joe

Saw ivor score four goals against Sunderland at the Vetch. Two from the edge of the box with low left foot drives. A magnificent player!
