I asked the question when I interviewed him. He was limited to colours as in those days goalkeepers wore green. Rapid Vienna wore green and white. The match officials wore black, so a red top was brought in. Not Nev's choice I assure you.

The famous 5-0 rout programme-
The best game I have ever witnessed. There were many from this era, where we destroyed the opposition, but on this day we were literally on another planet.
The first half was sensational – Man United were torn to absolute shreds – every time ANY of our players gained possession, we put them under insane pressure, moved at lightening pace and threatened their goal. When they somehow managed to get the ball, they managed to hold onto it for about 3 seconds. We could have been 10-0 up at half time, and I’m not exaggerating.
We took our foot off the pedal in the second half, and still scored two. As you left the ground EVERYONE was under the impression that they had just watched the next 1st Division champions, and it wasn’t the favorites – Man United!
Three days later we went to Old Trafford and knocked them out of the Milk Cup.
The following Saturday we went to Anfield. You all know what happened next!
Ah my days, to be a Blue then!!!!
God loves a trier and most of us have a soft spot for players like Bernie and The Straq. They struggle to make the all time bad side, nevermind the all time greats. But for effort and attitude (yeah I know some of that attitude bordered on psycho) they'd put any 6 of todays shirkers to shame...thats 6 each mind, not 6 between them.
Bernie the Bolt - The Catt made a few bad signings but he was no 1 bad signing { using some of the fee off Bally too}
That made it worse - this guy in the days of tight shorts looked like we never had a kit to fit him - I remember an away game v Leicester at the old Filbert street - the comedy alone was worth the trip , and gate money - to say he was a bustler was an understatement he was huge his undersized kit did not helplol
Evidently the Catt was scared of him, the alleged story goes Chairman John Moores gave all the first team players a hamper with a bottle of scotch - the next day Bernie after consuming the whisky came in the next day still sloshed realising he was not on top pay he decided he wanted a showdown with the Catt over his low pay demanding a pay raise - Labby warned the Catt he was on his way up in an unfit state angry - The Catt hid in his office wardrobe, and told him to get rid - after a tussle Labby, and a few of the team threw him on the back of the outgoing groundsmans wagon, and the Catt sacked him that evening he went back to play for Walsall which was about his level with the blues losing money on the transfer - lol
