My mate who was a pal of Michael’s, he’d lost contact with him but managed to get his number after he was diagnosed and spoke to him last year, passed a few weeks ago as well sad times. My mate always spoke well of Michael he had a hairdresser salon in city centre and Michael use to pop in after training for a coffee and a chat
After he moved to lfc he was having a bad spell, he told my mate that he was doing extra training as there was talk in the papers that he was going to be dropped and he was down about it. Bob Paisley came out and said you ok Michael, not really boss, why? Well it’s being said that I’m going to be dropped Really, said Paisley, he pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and said well here’s the team sheet for Saturday, Michael looked at it and three was one name, his! He scored a couple that weekend
