Career & Clubs
Madeley made his England debut in 1971 against Northern Ireland in Belfast in the 1970–71 British Home Championship at right-back; a position he was to win the majority of his 24 caps in a six-year international career. The then England manager Alf Ramsey had previously approached Madeley to replace injured Leeds teammate Paul Reaney at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, but Madeley politely declined, stating that he needed a rest and that as a stand-in he was unlikely to play a part. Madeley later partnered Bobby Moore at centre-back as the latter won his 100th cap against Scotland in 1973. His final cap came against the Netherlands in a friendly at Wembley in 1977.
After retiring Madeley invested in a shop in Leeds selling sports goods and worked for his family's DIY business. He and his brothers sold this business for £27 million in 1987. In 1992, he had a benign brain tumour removed. He had a mild heart attack in 2002, and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2004. Madeley was portrayed by actor Chris Moore in the 2009 film The Damned United, an adaptation of David Peace's novel of the same name about Brian Clough's ill-fated tenure at Leeds. Madeley died on 23 July 2018, aged 73.
