Michael Branch

Post by Cleveleys_claret » Thu Apr 27, 2017 1:27 pm

This player was mentioned in Joey Bartons book if memory serves me right. The thought popped in my head at the time as I recalled something from years ago, the question is is he Graham Branchs brother? Both from Liverpool of similar age and when I looked for a pic it came up with an article. In one of the pics he has a blue shirt on and looks an absolute spit. Fifth pic down in the article

Never going to be anything other than downhill for him after making his debut replacing Grantona.

It's his cousin, pretty sure his brother is called Special.

'Then in my first derby when Dave Watson was the manager for a couple of months I played well and I had a chance in the last five minutes when it was 1-1 but it just wouldn’t go in. If either of those chances had gone my confidence would have been right up and it could have been a whole new ball game…”'

Probably would have still been football.
