News of Ex Players

[Blue toffee]

He had a go as Burnley manager a few years ago, they lost at Anfield in an FA cup game, think it was1-0, and after the game he attended the press conference full of smiles expecting to be congratulated, only to get a load of stick off the reporters, Burnley hardly got into Liverpool‘s penalty area all afternoon, just defended deep for the entirety of the game. He was a coach under Howard Kendall at Everton along with Vivian March, the former Fulham player, Howard, Adrian and Vivian, they sounded like three shirt lifters mates!!!

Do you mean Viv Busby?

 

[Eggs]

Second that Eggs,smashing fella when I've met him Vaughny.

....yep, I remember you mentioned bumping into him in Formby. Love his recent interview re FA Cup, it’s easy to forget (I know you wouldn’t!!) he converted one of the penalties in the FA Cup semi-final victory over Man Utd. That’s a memory nobody can ever take away from him.

 

[Blue toffee]

Think you mean Viv Busby - scored twice against us in the FA Cup in '75.

Yep. At that game, cried all the way home. The year they got to the final. How very Everton.

Yes and that was the season we should have won the league but for...... Carlisle!

 

[Blue toffee]

Sad news, wish him all the best.

A particularly shocking from of dementia, as they all are of course. Not that old either. Shame.

To be honest, Blue Toffee, you’ve got me thinking and I think you might be correct,and Big Mick thinks the same so I’ll have that.

Yep, think Fulham were second division, we must have been top 4 or so at the time.

Sad news, wish him all the best.

Was that because of the assault he recently suffered or heading issues over his career?

He’s unfortunately etched on my memory. Even remember being disappointed when Howard brought him to GP. Don’t even think he had a proper job with us.

It hasn't been mentioned, but apparently it's treatable, which is good news.

It’s an alcohol related form of dementia mate, sadly. Not that common these days either.

Yes you are right Mick, Blue Toffee said the same so it’s two against one and I’ll accept I was wrong. Old age creeping up on me!!

I remember him walking up to take that pen,I think he'd maybe only come on as a sub in extra time and had been out for a long spell previous too,slotted it ice coolly,gonads of steel that lad!!
