Paul Futcher-RIP

pettgra

Passed away at 60 from cancer. Us older ones would definitely remember him.
Manchester City signed him from Luton in 1978 for £350,000, which was a record fee for a defender. R.I.P.

Was it him or his brother who got sent off whilst playing for Barnsley in the famous 5 3 game? RIP

Think so mate. Got sent off for swearing at the ref. Remember him pleading and saying "I didn't say it to your face ref"
