A great keeper, sadly more remembered for mistakes in 1970 than general brilliance.

Read earlier that he moved to Mull to run a guest house and deliver the post; hadn't realized that coincided with the 7 games he played for United when Hamish wasn't able to.

There was a tale doing the rounds at st custards in the early seventies that French teacher David "Harry" Nuttall had had a trial for Chelsea but they opted for Bonetti instead.  Our loss was foopball's gain, or something.
