Albiston, Arthur Think it was Leicester City away, 3 0 defeat just at the end of the great start to the season
I may be wrong but either way was an exciting team to watch

Albiston, Arthur Always remember him scoring in front of the Kop v Gillingham on his debut. It was crazy as he had barely scored any goals in his career and he was the last player we expected to score. The crowd went mad and chanted his name for the rest of the game.

Albiston, Arthur Arthur's place in United folklore was etched in 1977 when he replaced an injured Stewart Houston at Left-back in the FA Cup final and played superbly. Remember being at an away with United (Villa?) in the 80's. We weren't having the best of days so when Albiston came walking past us 'feigning' injury, he got a mouthful off us simply out of frustration. He stopped, slighly lifted his shorts from his thigh and revealed a huge vicious looking gash. We all broke into applause for him and he continued on his way to the treatment room. One of the best Left-backs I can ever remember.
