What they Said
โIt was just a typical forward's lunge - not malicious at all [Warren Aspinallโs 77โ tackle on Trevor Putney].
โ[Goalscorer Paul] Elliott remains on the transfer list but he has shown a great attitude since returning to the team and it is up to him to make any further decision."
Billy McNeill.
