I sent this request off to Martn Buchan via the P.F.A address in Manchester on the 15th of October last year.
(Hoping to have it back before the Christmas temps started in the post office sorting office's) Anyway I sent the Programme from Utd's pre season tour dated August 10th 1977 V Stromsgodset, The programme is already signed by 5 players who played in the game..Jimmy Greenhoff, Sammy McIlroy, Steve Coppell, Jimmy Nicholl and Alex Stepney. Today the programme and index card have been returned to me signed by one of Utd's greatest captains. Martin has also included a photo of himself in his Utd days, with his " Up the Reds" inscription added. He has also signed the inside to the programme too...How nice is his autograph on the card..Very pleased to see this these again.
Martin McLean Buchan (born 6 March 1949 in Aberdeen) is a Scottish former footballer. Buchan was a central defender for Manchester United in 1972–1983, and captained the late 1970s teams for six years. He was signed from Aberdeen by Manchester United manager Frank O'Farrell on 29 February 1972 for £120,000, and was the club's record signing then.
He helped United win the 1977 FA Cup Final against Liverpool, which they won 2–1. He also helped them reach another final in 1979, where they lost 3–2 to Arsenal. He was in the team for the 1982–83 season when they reached another FA Cup final, beating Brighton 4–0 in the replay after a 2–2 draw, but did not make the team for the final.
This Programme was a gift around 12 months or so ago off Sy, I did tell him then that I'd make this into a TTM project and add at least half the Utd team's graphs to it....6 out of 11 are on it now..Project complet
e...or is it;-) Thanks again Martin Buchan.
