Have a read of this, a total fruitcake but as genuine and hard as they come. Plus some nice things to say about us.

I remember Budgie very well,a great character and as fit as feck.He used to walk on his hands in the goal mouth warming up.One of the games great characters,they don`t make em like that any more.He was as nutty as a fruit cake,and a very good keeper at Palace.Reading that article took me back a bit, great times.

Great piece. And accurate. I have the privilege of knowing Budgie pretty well. I used to play sport (not footy) at international level with his son and I stayed at their house up north quite a few times. His enthusiasm for life was clear to see for everyone. An infectious character, someone you always wanted to be around. Mad as a box of frogs but a really great genuine guy. I saw an interview years ago where he said that even as a man in his 40's he still so passionate about football and that he watches match of the day in the front room with a pair of keeper's gloves on and a ball, re-enacting every save shown on the footage like a kid would. I can confirm I've witnessed him doing this, diving all over the front room like a nutcase. Legend
