He’d played 66 games before he was moved on young maybe but experienced, sure he knew how the game worked and understood if you don’t score someone else will get the chance. Perhaps if Hurst hadn’t listened to all the hype surrounding KVV he’d have been the CF that game and Wooton wouldn’t and all could have been so much different. Still took Hurst another 2 league games though before he realised KVV was the one, after scoring freely in non league games at the time.
I was there at the game I wasn’t booing him but I understood why people were, we totally dominated the game he fluffed his lines not the only one mind. Macc were so poor the only way they’d score was from a penalty and they did.
Manager set him up to take the blame subbing him so he then had to walk past all the scunny fans, manager had seen enough the fans at the time had seen enough then shipped him out through lack of goals the next week.
