Met Tueart at the final against Man City, he wanted to stop at Sunderland but on signing a player called Rod Belfitt it showed Sunderlands ambition at that time and it did not match his, I am too young but my dad says he was gutted when Watson and Tueart left.We on here who are old enough to know had all this back in 1973/74 marra. We won the FA Cup with three very very good players (Watson, Tueart, Monty) and a couple of prospects (Pitt & Horswill). City took three of em as we couldnt offer them a rise due to Govt pay freezes introduced to combat rampant inflation iirc. Monty stayed as did one of the prospects who retired injured shortly after.
Tueart virtually went on strike. A player whod been skipping past defenders for fun then suddenly found himself only capable of running up to hem then passing it sideways/backwards. Funnily enough in the ECWC & LC games his dribbling ability which had deserted him in Div2 returned.
The players have the power and both parties are very aware that they could have career ending injuries during the next training session never mind game.
