I spoke with Frances a few years ago and gleaned some information on Buchan not published anywhere else. In fact this rerelease doesnt give any details of how he came to get his medals and he is very coy about his military career. I did publish details of where he was buried and how he came to get his medals in the first Finest Matches book.
A lad off here went to Golders Green Crem and photographed various bits and pieces such as the book with his details in.
It ends "Gods fingers touched him and he slept".
To me he is the best player who ever played for SAFC. Better than Carter.
It was a good effort mate and I really appreciated it.
