Makes you realise the risk all players take when they go out on the pitch. Especially back than - the rules today and the cameras mean that the most sickening and dangerous defending we saw so often back then is pretty rare nowadays.
If Beglin doesn’t get that injury - our history and subsequent demise in the early 90’s might be quite different.
Mark Wright getting injured as he did was a major blow also, he was a great CB, for me the best we had after Jockey and Lawro until Virgil came
