In those Golden Days of old we had a forward line of:

Lyons Bennett xxx Houghton and Butler.

xxx signifies the lack of a CF cos Eric wouldn't put his hand in his pocket and buy a big man to protect our star I.R. Bennett. Albert was kicked black and blue in those anything goes days and so every time Albie was picked for the England 23s, he was injured on the Saturday. Emlyn Hughes got the nickname of Crazy Horse at Liverpool because he was always diving on Albert's back when they played Newcastle...Em often said it was the only way he could stop Albert as he was too fast and tricky for him.

Lyons was good and spent 12 years with Nottm Forest. The rest speak for themselves but my favourite was left winger Ian Butler. A genius alongside Ken Houghton. The sale of the 4 of them lined the Purshouse's pockets and as they never spent anything the way was eventually cleared for the big bird in the sky to swoop and bag it all.

The vulture was of course Anton Johnson.
