The story of Terry Butcher is one of courage and honour that are scarce in football nowadays. Having sustained a head injury, the England man refused to come off despite the ceaseless bleeding.

Terry Butcher became a legend for the Three Lions after this game. The blood kept flowing from his head, even with the bandage on, an the defender just kept going.

Having spent the whole game putting on an enormous defensive display, even heading the ball, he was carried off by the doctors.

The image of Butcher in an entirely blood-stained shirt is one that will stay forever in the memories of England fans.
