sadly was never the same player, awful tackle, awful injury. I went to the Villa game, 1-0 flattered Villa, we were superb, in fairness their fans acknowledged it

I was at that game, the tackle was so bad that most of the Rangers fans behind the Foolham dugout turned on Alec stock, we lost a probable england international that night who was better than Gerry francis.

Yes I was at the game, behind a goal. Busby was lying on the ground leg in air and the broken half was dangling........ Supporters around me were fainting....
