Viv Busby

Vivian Dennis Busby Date of Birth: Jun 19, 1949

As a youngster, Viv signed on for his home town club Wycombe Wanderers where his goalscoring exploits came to the attention of Luton Town manager Alec Stock who signed him in January 1970.

He did not wait long for his first team chance and by the end of that season had written himself into Hatters folklore by scoring the all-important goal against Southport which virtually assured promotion to the old Division Two.

A linking up on loan with his ex-strike partner Malcolm Macdonald at Newcastle did not work and he eventually moved to Fulham for whom he appeared in the 1975 F.A.Cup final.

After finishing playing, Viv moved into scouting, coaching and managing various clubs including Workington and York City.
