So sad. I loved him as a player. Before he signed for us he was always a player we talked about at school as "we could do with a Payton" I'll never forget me Dad checking teletext before I went to bed and seeing we'd signed him. I went upstairs buzzing.
great player and proper moody remember him tellin us to eff off in a league cup game at darlo when we gave him some grief for not chasing a long ball
Lolzzz!! I remember that as I was there myself, Ian Banks was playing for Darlo, sure Payton scored our two goals......sithi
Mick Butler was a great forward as well and for a little one he could jump higher than most center half's
Can anybody remember Boxing Day , think it was against port vale when he had not scored for a long time got a hat trick and the bookies in the ground could not pay out that day cause everyone was on the hat trick ,
I remember the incident of non celebration. More so, the one at home. With him being a boyhood lifelong Burnley fan. He scored in both games. like you, sad to hear he's suffered because of the game. Believe it or not. He had never played for Burnley until after us, released as a schoolboy at 15. then joined hull as a junior. At 18 . Which surprised me after checking Wiki.
