It might be this:
Johnston was a part-timer with an eye for the fairer sex. In essence, he was a playboy in the making and earlier in the year, after Graham’s untimely passing, Steve Harrison recalled how he smuggled a still drunk Johnston into training one morning. The striker was still in his white suit, having been clubbing all night.
They put him in the shower and did their best to sober him up. Johnston went out and with remarkable application, got through training without a mishap.
Later, when Johnston set off home, Taylor popped in and said to his coaches: “So you sorted out Maurice ok?”
Harrison cited this as another of many examples in that despite efforts to cover things up, Taylor knew everything that was going on.
“Maurice,” said Graham, who never referred to the striker as Mo, “was one of those individuals who could spend the night on the tiles and come in the next morning and train superbly. Unfortunately, the players who joined him on these nights were unable to do likewise. In their training, it showed.”
