I believe it led to his departure more incidents like that in the dressing room witnessed by Catterick - who had stupidly told him to kick backsides with his full backing ......As it should be players now just go through the motions with no passion .
Bally's standards were so high - but his form dropped did to playing with a hip injury at that time .....
The Catt had stated I would not accept any bids even at 1\2 a million soldhim months later for £220-000
He did the same trick with Bobby Colin's - ironically he sold both club captains for under value.....
Labby stated of all the Catts skill to get the top players in - Two massive errors by him as a manager when he retired .....selling players of that class .....
