👍 Tulsa Roughnecks? Didn't know he played there Yes, just after leaving Stoke I think. He kept the house in Alton for a while. Was a really nice bloke He stepped out for a short while with a young lady I knew from Denstone. RIP Viv, you were a cultured centre forward and thanks for the memories, however shortlived.

Reading that report, he was 51 in 2001, with Leukaemia and having chemo and recently had a new born child, a lot to contend with but was itching to get back out on the training pitches.

Had a message from a Leeds fan re Viv this morning.
He co managed a nightclub in York back in the day and said Viv Busby and John Byrne were regulars on a Saturday night and what top blokes they were and how much the ladies liked John Byrne. Said was some York team as they often gave him tickets and would watch them when Leeds away.
Said Viv was the best groomed man he ever met

Nice round of applause in respect from everybody at Craven Cottage prior to kick-off.

That's right, Forest was a midweek game after the Cov game.... Didn't we lose that 1-0??? 🤔 I remember going down to the ground, before the players left for the game on coach.... I took my program down from the Cov game because it had a picture of the squad in it, and I was hoping to collect some autographs, which I did.... Then the last two to come out (together) were, Denis Smith & Sammy Irvine!!! I asked Denis for his autograph, which he happily signed, then I went to Irvine, and the twat brushed me off (not a euphemism), didn't like him after that!!! Viv Busby used to wear blue glasses. Remember him going in the players entrance as a kid I loved Sammy Irvine, even had my hair cut like him ...tosser doing that Why did Viv disguise himself as a kid ?
