Indeed. Would the real Butcher Cumberland please stand up?
But seriously, for younger Bouncers... I don't remember who it was against, but Butcher (playing for England, of course) went off to get stitches in his heid and returned to the field of play with the Rab Nesbit style (remember him?) bandage. The cut opened up again and he finished the match with this Culloden look, no doubt earning the cliched tabloid nickname "Captain Courageous" into the bargain.

Qualifying for Italia 90, Bobby Robson’s final tournament as England manager, saw the most memorable images of Terry Butcher. During the vital match in Sweden Butcher suffered a deep cut in his head that was temporarily stitched up by the England physio. Heavily bandaged, he insisted on returning to the pitch and did not stop heading the ball, which re-opened the wound. As he came off at the end of the match, with the all-important draw secured, his face, bandages and shirt were red with blood.

This is before the rules concerning blood came into force, courageous or not the fact that he has a pretty deep cut in the part of the head most concerned with heading a ball, shows the depth that the man is prepared to dig into for his team mates. If he gets the Scotland No2 job I personally think that it will be a good appointment.
