Futcher was the defensive half of twin brothers. His brother was centre-forward Ron who also played for Manchester City.
Paul was the most expensive defender in England when he became Manchester City's record signing for £350,000 on 1 June 1978. He made 44 appearances for the club initially replacing City stalwart Tommy Booth in the side which failed to live up to expectations (nothing new there then). Booth won his place back and on 1 July 1979 Paul left Maine Road for a fee of £150,000 and joined Second Division Oldham Athletic.
All at VMC would wish to offer their condolences to the Futcher family on their sad loss
