Very under-rated player.
That team should have achieved more and then he was part of the big sell off as MacDonald lost interest and it was about balancing the books.
His goal against Wolves took the pain away that week from the Deane/Fjørtoft sale.
Often wondered the status of his goal against Arsenal in the replayed game. Those goals and appearances ought to still stand rather than being expunged from the record books.
Ten minutes away from a replay at home, where not long before Carl Veart had knocked them out. Should have conceded a goal right away from the kick off as Bielsa made Leeds do. It was absolute nonsense that we had to play away again given we were set to bring them home. A re-run at their ground was a huge let off for them. We should have refused to play on unless they allowed a goal from kick off. I remember being in the away end chanting “Bruce, Brucey take ‘’em off”.
Very good interview and he comes over as a likeable guy now, just as he did as a player. He achieved that wonderful ‘cult hero’ status that makes you remember players and his Coventry celebration was instantly iconic.
These interviews are great to get you through the working day.
It would be nice to hear from Pyotr Kachura as I believe his name is in his own language though he was Peter Katchouro when with us!
To think we had Deane, Fjørtoft, Saunders, Taylor, Walker, Katchouro, Andy Scott, an emerging Lee Morris and Marcelo all in the books in the 97-98 season!
