Hursty was our first ever substitute........
Certainly was. He'd show the winger the outside then slide in just behind him, hook a leg round the ball...or tbh, as it wasnt frowned upon like it would be now, sometimes leg and ball...but anyway, he'd hook a leg round the ball, and be up smartish heading back up the field...all at full speed mind, almost before the winger knew he'd lost it?
At one stage...60-62ish, he was acknowledged by more than a few as the top RB in the world.
Jock Stein said - give me Parker and Wilson as fullbacks and I'll give you a league title.

Rees played against Leeds at right back in Nov.1964.
His one and only game that season.

Most certain Debut for Hursty as our first sub as he started of as a forward replacing big Fred who was injured scored and the ref blew the whistle on him .....
What a player Hursty really was for us after that as a converted centre back alongside Labby - plus a good goal scorer.....
