I remember that wedding story making the front page of the Post. Talking of people going AWOL, Pedro’s summer jaunts to Spain were also a regular feature back in the 70s.
Didn’t Hunt score one of the goals in our 2-1 win against Arsenal back in 1981 that stopped the rot of four defeats in a row and showed we could actually compete at the top level? Ah, happy days. I also seem to recall him scoring a “brilliant” own goal against arsenal a few years later, lobbing McDonagh from 20 yards? Also seem to recall a red card against the F-word that season. Blimey, I wish I could remember a few more good things about him given that he played nearly 400 times for us.
