FROM THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 13TH AUGUST 1983 ...Caton, 20 year old England rated defender, twisted his knee as the Blues gallantly battled back to wipe out a two goal deficit and win 4-3. It maintained a 100% tour record with 26 goals scored on the long tiring haul through West Germany and Holland. Caton, carried off on a stretcher in last night's final build up game against Dutch First Division Willem in Tilburg, returned with X-Ray plates that reveal a slight crack.
