Gary Owen With 22 caps, he is one of the most capped players for England Under-21s, but never made it into the senior team. He was also capped seven times for England B. With the under-21s he won the 1982 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, in which he scored two goals in the final against West Germany.
Owen started his career with Manchester City, in 1975 and made his debut aged 17.
In 1979 Owen was sold, to West Bromwich Albion .
He suffered two broken ankles and meningitis in the 1984–85 season, and the following year, 1985–86, lost his place in the side due to his injuries. West Bromwich were relegated, and Owen joined Panionios in Greece for 1986–87. For the 1987–88 season he returned to England for year with Sheffield Wednesday. He ended his career in season 1988–89 with APOEL, Cyprus. Before going to Cyprus, he also played two games for Hammarby IF, Sweden in 1988. It was two away games against Malmö FF and Örgryte IS for a total of 157 minutes.
Willie Johnston was a talented player, whose speed and trickery on the left-wing and as an inside-left was a catalyst for the Rangers team which won the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972. He scored twice in the final as Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow 3–2 in Barcelona. In December 1972 he moved to England to join West Bromwich Albion, making his debut against Liverpool in the same month.
His career included some controversial incidents. In 1978 when playing in the World Cup he was found to have taken a banned stimulant during the opening game against Peru. His subsequent expulsion from the squad ended his international career after 21 appearances, although he maintained his innocence.
While playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps he once mooned the opposing bench following a goal, and on another occasion took a swig from a fan-offered beer before taking a corner kick in San Jose, setting up a goal from the set-piece.
Aberdeen player John McMaster had to be given the kiss of life during a game against Rangers at Ibrox in 1980 after Johnston stamped on his throat.
Tommy Booth played for Manchester City and Preston North End,[and was capped four times for England at under-23 level.He began his career with Manchester City, signing amateur forms in 1965, turning professional in 1967.Heplayed 382 times for City in the League between 1968 and 1981, scoring 25 goals.In September 1981 he moved to Preston North End for £30,000. At Deepdale he made 84 appearances between 1981 and 1984, scoring twice, before injury forced him to retire during the 1984–85 season. In February 1985 he was appointed as Preston manager; with the club in difficult financial circumstances, he resigned in January 1986
