Now here was a real club legend. RIP
Very saddened by this. As well as his exploits at United, he was a major part of the Barrow AFC squad that gained it's only ever promotion to League division 3 in the late Sixties.

Very sad news. Hope the club can keep his memory alive as he's played a big part in building our finest moment so far.
As others mentioned, Fergie gets all the headlines and people like Harrison are relatively unknown. RIP Eric.

RIP, his place in the pantheon of legends here is undoubted and his name will join the likes of Sir Matt, Jimmy Murphy, Louis Rocca, and Sir Alex as one of the pillars that has built the behemoth that the club has become.

A very sad day. I hope the club marks this in a permanent way. We need to mark the contribution of people like Eric and Jimmy Murphy in a lasting way.
I'm all for giving an award in his name but we should be making a permanent marker for people that have helped build and maintain the club.
