Viv Busby, a former player and coach at York City, has died aged 74.
The striker signed for City at the end of his playing career and made 19 appearances for the club in 1982 and 1983, scoring four goals.
And he went on to form an awesome winning partnership with record-breaking manager Denis Smith.
Smith managed the City team that became runaway Fourth Division champions in 1983/84, the first in English league history to amass 100 points. Busby was coach.
Busby coached at the club until 1987. After stints with Sunderland and Hartlepool, he was named as assistant manager at York City in September 2004.
He became caretaker manager at City in November 2004 when Chris Brass was sacked. Busby was in charge for 14 matches, with four wins, two draws and eight losses.
He left the role by mutual consent in February 2005 when Billy McEwan was appointed manager.
Busby originally made his name at Fulham.
He played for the Cottagers for three years in the 1970s, scoring 37 goals in 143 appearances.
He was an integral part of the Fulham side which reached the FA Cup final in 1975, starting all 12 matches and scoring six goals including two against league leaders Everton in the fifth round.
A side also including Bobby Moore were eventually beaten by West Ham in the final.
Busby also played for Wycombe, Luton, Norwich and Stoke and went on to manage Hartlepool as well as York.
Fulham said: “Everyone at the club would like to offer our condolences to Viv’s wife Barbara, and all his family and friends at this sad time.”
