It would be interesting to know if Colin Bell himself has forgiven him.
My guess is that he has, i may be wrong but he doesn't seem
the type of fella that would carry any bitterness after all this time.
The date is etched in my mind 12/11/75 more due to Colin Bells injury
than the result which wasn't too bad at all
Players suffer that injury these days and recover to play again.
In those days it was more or less playing career over.

To err is human, to forgive is divine.

Colin's thoughts on the matter.

"I don't blame Martin Buchan for the injury. There were players in the game who set out to kick and injure you, but I don't think Martin was that type.

"I was a little disappointed, though, that he didn't visit me during my time in hospital. If it had been me who had done that to him, I would have gone to see him as long as I knew in my own mind that I hadn't done it on purpose.

"He didn't come to see me so only he can tell you what was going through his mind at the time. I have always maintained that the injury was an accident but Martin has never apologised to me."

Come on dude, in those days twating a striker with a base ball bat was only a yellow card offence. Times change!!!

Our Big Stuey has a couple of interesting stories about Buchan.....I wonder if Ric could dig them up?

What an utter twatster he was. Like a prototype of the dreadful Neville unit.
