I seem to recall he bought out Peter Swales at Man City and we were the first opponents 'under him' at Maine Road. There was definitely a big thing made of it at the time.
Don't remember him as a player but I think he surprised the renowned hard-man Norman Hunter here. One of the most 70's things ever to happen on a football pitch.
I know it was wrong, and I feel terrible but that made me smile
For those who dont know or dont remember ... enjoy
Could have done without the overbearing music but that video does remind you of what a spirited player he was. Perhaps more than a few similarities to Gatesy ?
Some say "spirited", I say nasty - he did his best to break Bryan Hamilton's nose with his elbow, after a sneaky look round to make sure ref wasn't looking. All while waiting for a throw in.

His first game as chairman of Man City was against us after a protracted takeover.
We went 1-0 up with a Marshall goal early on, but they game flying back at us and won 2-1.
The Kippax Stand was deafening that day - in terms of how loud I've heard a home crowd as an away fan, that's in the top two, along with West Ham in the POs in 2004.

Nowadays, when you only have to raise your hands a bit to get a red card, I'm always hoping someone will just go full Franny.
Oops, in thread mode, so didn't initially notice it had already been posted, but its such a good clip it deserves a double post.

So called hard man Hunter took him with a sneaky sucker punch. They probably taught that at Leeds in training. 10 out of 10 for me because he wasn’t going to take that and took him on even though he was about a foot shorter.
