Didn’t Luke Edwards point score for Bruce by saying that he unearthed these two?!
“I remember Stan’s (Ternant) first calls to me about both Andy and Harry,” Bruce tells The Athletic. “He had spotted Andy playing for Dundee United and said he had found Billy Whizz.
“I said, ‘Isn’t Billy Whizz in a comic book?’ But Stan was adamant we had to sign him. He was the same over Harry. Stan was relentless over Harry. The thing with Harry is he had been playing for Sheffield United since he was 18 and had something like 150 games under his belt (at age 21). He had also been their Player of the Year three years running.
“But people looked at him and asked, ‘Is he slow on the turn?’ I’ll admit, I asked the same of Stan when he first came to me about Harry. Stan’s reply was priceless, ‘Well, you were slow on the turn and you did OK.'”
