Buster is another character whose place in our history is assured ...but surely check such a story is true before announcing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Buster played bowls after his retirement for RBL Portishead and was captain with them for a season and my outdoor club play in the same league as them playing against them around three or four times over the summer - sometimes more. Consequently we all know each other pretty well and I asked after Buster not having seen him for at least a couple of years. Sadly I discovered that he’d developed Alzheimer’s and was no longer playing. Very sad indeed. With advanced dementia he won’t realise just how poorly he’s become and I guess that’s a blessing in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicdaps Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 If anyone is going to make a speedy recovery it'll be Buster. Don't think I ever witnessed him lose a physio race with his opposite number when they would both tear onto the pitch at the same time. Great character and part of City folklore for ever.

Simon bristol Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 As a dorky 15 year old i got to attend a physio course with buster at ashton gate, in the old williams stand treatment room. Was a lovely guy. He would have martin Scott in doing the course with him, demonstrating the muscle groups of the legs,,, cause his legs were like tree trunks. as someone else said, not many other physios are recalled so fondly 25 years later, buster was great!

JackofromSanJavier Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Although the young 'uns won't understand it, the responses to this thread from use old geezers and gals speak absolute volumes about Buster. Sorry to read @Robbored added news of Buster's Alzheimers.........I lost my Dad to it this week. Legend is a title earned by BF, from use oldies.

As far as I’m aware Buster had no professional physio qualifications but had learnt his trade in the army. I can’t remember when he was appointed at City but it seems as if he’d been there for decades. I really can’t remember who was the ‘sponge man’ before he was. He has/had a typical army PI character. A mans man, personall very fit and very tough - hence why we never saw Buster sprinting onto the pitch in anything other than a T shirt regardless of the weather! Quite remarkable when you think about it. A unique character for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
