rob237 89 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Sad to read about the passing of Albert Scanlon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/8427579.stm From the Munich survivors, perhaps only Bobby Charlton and Harry Gregg are now still alive. Saw Albert play at the City Ground several times, as good a raiding winger as you'll ever see. Met him once, during his brief Field Mill days...pleasant bloke, with a sharp wit. Told me he always enjoyed playing at Forest..."nice big pitch to stretch my legs, didn't cut inside too much though - that bu99er McKinlay always stopped me in my tracks!" Cheers Robt P.

firbeck 859 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I worry about Bobby too, I don't think he's a well man. Wasn't Geoff Whitefoot part of the Busby Babes set up at one time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Indeed he was... http://wapedia.mobi/en/Jeff_Whitefoot_%28footballer%29 Bet he thought his career was over when he went to Grimsby! One of the two survivors from the '59 FA Cup winners. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I saw Bobby Charlton in the flesh only about a fortnight ago (He lives about 10 miles from me) he seemed fine to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
