TheBogEnd / Eddie Nketiah does a Dave Busby

The Arsenal sending off last nigh got me thinking about the sending off of Dave Busby after he came on as Sub in the FA Cup at (Dartford or Dagenham) can't remember which. Busby had been on the pitch for a similar time but I don't think VAR would have been needed to decide that sending off!

It was Dagenham, Dave. And Busby's foot was about three feet higher than Nketiah's !

Hi Jeff
Wasn't sure where it was - years just run into each other these days!!!

Who was the Dagenham player in that match who more or less admitted he'd dived for a very dodgy penalty and later played for us?

Richard Wilson ?

Yes that's the man. As I remember he had been a school friend of Nicky Sullivan who followed him to the side edge of the penalty area where there may have been some minor contact..Wilson said he couldn't see anything on so decided he might as well go down! He played some half decent games for us but I am not sure we ever really forgave him.
