Item No 20 on the Artie Beetson file is slightly inaccurate.
The match
in question was a first team match against Huddersfield. Artie was, well just
Artie & Ian Van Bellen & ?? Anderson had been after Artie all of the
first half. Eventually, Artie got a little fed up of their treatment of him
& after one particularly nasty tackle by the pair of them on Artie, he got
up to play the ball, threw it on the ground & then proceeded to set about
the pair of them. Everybody, including the referee stood around until Artie had
finished with them. When the dust finally settled, hw walked off without
waiting for the referee's signal. Needless to say he got a standing
ovation.
