Apologies, BR, I posted before I read all the replies, and I came up with a virtually identical list. That says something in itself!

I echo all the above statements. He truly was the complete player: Two footed Great tackler / ball winner Great vision / distribution Could beat players Good heading ability Fit (though his boozing (which I personally witnessed in the Alty area was excessive at times) Scored regularly (27...

What can I add that hasn't been said already? I felt a sense of dread all day, but also hope because that's what being a fan is about, right. I haven't felt this way at the end of a match for such a long time and screamed my head off when Amad's goal went it. It felt really emotional. It's...

Classless cnut...

I know there is a tendency to be a bit cynical about 'United's way', focus on youth, blah, blah... Or at least it has been since Busby's second great side and Fergie's faith in 'kids', etc. But I think the point that is so often missed is that all marquee players were young once, and came up...

I'd forgotten that. Not all of them made it, but it was more the sense that Fergie was forging his own team and away from the hard-drinking Atkinson team...

It reminds of Boxing day 1989 when a young United team came back from 1-0 to beat Liverpool 3-1. That was one of the first indications that Fergie was getting it right after an indifferent start to the season. And young players. The United way...

From the crash itself, I think he was the last. Wilf McGuinness is still alive from that time / cohort, though he wasn't selected for the game due to injury. Jeff Whitefoot too, still alive at 89.

Many thanks, Bert. Not been a great year to be honest. I also had a feeling sir Bobby wouldn't last the year knowing how deadly dementia is.

Very upset by this news. He was just a couple of years younger than my dad who died in August. I saw him play many times, the last time being a charity match in Knutsford around 1975. I saw him out and about a few times too, but not for a long while. An absolute legend. Will another English...

There are many stand out memories, but the abiding one is the smile on VdS's face when he jumped the right way to save Anelka's penalty. He KNEW he was going to save it... I'd love to see a video of that save again.

I've looked on Google Earth and I think Tranmere might be closer Update, no - Edgeley Park is about 1km and Prenton Park is about 2km, so not even close.

Good one - though Tranmere must be close too. Merseysiders!

Greetings to Switzerland. Brexit was the end point of neoliberalism, not the start. But it certainly makes European wide legislation harder to enact.

I mentioned to one of my City fan friends that the full implication of state ownership is some kind of franchise or transfer of the club somewhere else (like US sports teams have done). He laughed it off, but it is a possibility. Apart from the City of Manchester stadium and Foden, which bit of...
