Player Nominated | Drew Busby |
Nominated By | Lynn Aoki |
Where Do You Live | Hashimoto,Japan. |
Why nominated | Although probably not the most skilful of players,the
'Buzz' made up for it by the amount of hard graft and
sheer effort. He was a really genuine person as well and
the fans could relate to him so easily. I used to write to him,and he came and picked me up in my home town and took me to Tynie to meet the players. I was so nervous when I saw his wee VW Golf coming along,but after a couple of minutes in his car I felt that I had known him all my life. Ray Dunlop and my friend were there as well. He also wrote to me and sent a photo of himself playing for Toronto Blizzards in Canada. I was devastated when he left the JTs. I don't think too many of today's 'prima donnas' would spare the effort to do that for a fan. Drew Busby is simply the best. |
Memorable Games | A 2-0 win over Celtic in 1978. He scored both goals. The
first a screamer from the edge of the box, flew past
Latchford.
A Scottish cup replay at Greenock,Busby scored the only goal with a peach of a header,and left me tickets for the match. Any penalty he took was memorable. Just blasted as hard as he could,magic! |
Other Comments | When you see some players who have won a major honour
I think it is a travesty that a player like Drew Busby
never did. He is my hero of all heroes. Love the guy tae bits. |
