The brake booster will cause a really hard pedal, not a soft one if it was stuffed. It could be either air, or the master cylinder is buggered, or even the rear wheel cylinders.

While you bleed them check for leaks at the wheel cylinders and calliper pistons , but i reckon its the master cylinder.
Its possible to rebuild the Master with a seal kit but its probably rusted and a new one is much better and easier

Agreed^^. I would not be thinking booster from what you describe. More likely a bypassing master cylinder or rear brake cylinders. Take each wheel off and look for any leaks, by the sounds of it, it should be fairly obvious.
Just on the odd chance its the obvious, how much brake fluid is in your resovoir.
