One crept "right back" today.....

This shold be my last TTM of the year.

I picked up a Mike Duxbury Testimonial programme  10 x 8 size from a local charity shop, 20p, a few weeks ago and sent it over to Mike the day before Accy Stanley played the FA Cup 2nd round replay down at Yeovil with the winners at home to Man Utd in round 3. Asked him in the letter if he'd be at the game. Anyway not to be as we lost the replay 2-0. Mike did sign the front of the programme in marker and one of the pics inside, The marker then died so he signed a handful of pic in Black biro. Alsao a nice letter back remembering the days we grew up together, Went to the same Junior and senior schools and lived a couple of streets away back in the day, He's always stayed local to the area and sometimes see him shoipping in ASDA. Last photo shows how good a shot he had Smiley Very Happy

Michael "Mike" Duxbury (born 1 September 1959)[1] is a former footballer who won 10 caps for England. At club level, he played in the Football League for Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers and Bradford City, and in the Hong Kong First Division League for Golden.

Born in Accrington, Lancashire, Duxbury began his career as a right back with Everton, but he signed for Manchester United as a schoolboy in 1975. He signed trainee forms in July 1976, and then went professional three months later. Duxbury made his Manchester United debut on 23 August 1980, coming on as a substitute for Kevin Moran against Birmingham City. Duxbury became a semi-regular in the first team over the next couple of seasons, although – due to the form of first-choice full backs John Gidman and Arthur Albiston – he spent most of his time playing at centre back; it was not until towards the end of the 1981–82 season that Duxbury began to play in his favoured right back position. The following season, he won his first FA Cup medal with Manchester United, playing in both matches of the 1983 final against Brighton & Hove Albion. Another FA Cup medal followed in 1985, after Duxbury came on as a substitute for Arthur Albiston. He continued at Manchester United for another five years, but he found his first-team opportunities increasingly limited as he began to play more reserve matches. After being left out of the side for the 1990 FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace, Duxbury left United for Blackburn Rovers for free at the end of the season.

He later played for Bradford City and for Golden FC in Hong Kong before retiring in 1994. Duxbury was capped 10 times by England, making his debut in November 1983 and earning his last cap in October 1984.[1] While in Hong Kong, he played for his club's Select XI against England in their warm-up games for Euro 1996.

 

Thank you very much Mike Duxbury and all the very best to you and yours over the Christmas holiday.
