Guy Branston Interview

[Brin]

S8 thank your lad for that I enjoyed it.

Branston - met him in Elliot's bar one night, in the gents actually. Trousers around his ankles and obviously smashed out of his head. Asked him if he was okay and I got a mumble of words in reply .

Another occasion was a pre season friendly game against Scarborough. Walking towards the ground with my late Father- in -law and who should approach us but Guy. 'Where's the nearest chippy?' he asked. I asked if he was playing today and he told me that he wasn't going to come on while late in the second half, he was starving and wanted some grub

I told him where where we had passed a chippy and off he went down the road. Sure enough he played late on in the second half....legend!

Last time of meeting was the last visit to Wembley. Stayed in the same hotel as my mate and myself. Top man, stopped for a picture for anyone who asked him. Wished we had his character in the team now, it's that sort of gusto that drives everyone forward. Bit of a hot head but highly entertaining.

Nice memories Brin. Always like Guy as a player, he was a 100%er who wore his heart on his sleeve.
