One of the Busby Babes - survived with a fractured skull

 

I can remember seeing him playing for us in the early 60's - class touch but the rest of the team were pretty drossy and I think he was past his best

Talking to Dave Hollins the Newcastle Goalie in the early 1960's and he said Albert bore a terrible scar from Munich which ran right down his body.

Seem to remember he ended up at Mansfield or similar after you.

 

He finished up as a security guard at the Colgate Palmolive factory on Trafford Park. How the game's changed!

 

Only 4 of 'em left now.
