Pat was a footballer who tried to learn all he could about the opposition. In the 1963 cup final he knew that Banks, in the Leicester goal, was apt to threw the ball out to fellow Scot Dave Gibson. During the game he noted that Gibson was free and Banks had the ball, so whilst others waited, he sprinted forward and took possession of the ball from Gibson, threading it through to Denis Law, who duly scored.
