Time flies. A sad reality of life but I'll chose to cherish it always.

His contribution to this great club not only cements his own legacy, but also how his vision and determination in youth helped spear head what would become over two decades of unprecedented success during the Fergie era. Rest easy now Eric you deserve it.
Would a statue at the training ground be fitting for both him and murphy?
Rest in peace Eric. The club wouldn't be what it is today without you.
One of the biggest influences on the Man Utd of my time. Sad news that he has passed, R.I.P
Listening to the Football Daily tribute episode, and it struck me with everyone talking about how much Eric would make the youngsters run, and how importance he placed on them being athletes - and how that transferred into Beckham, Butt, The Neville's etc, and even players like Savage who didn't make it with us. They all had incredibly engines, and could run for a full 90 minutes without seemingly getting tired... and how for some of them that became one of their biggest traits as footballers.
RIP Eric.

The biggest influence on our Youth vision since Jimmy Murphy. A statue or some sort of commemoration would be fitting to both though I think there is a Jimmy Murphy award already.
Thank you. RIP.
Probably Big Ron’s best signing for the club.
RIP.
RIP.
The scousers singing through the minutes applause.
They did do us the courtesy of remaining quiet for the rest of the game though.
Excellent thread, RIP, Eric.
A sad loss to the club and to football. I'd forgotten that he was brought to United by Ron Atkinson back in the day.
Just a short story that his daughter told me once. She said that they would be driving past Savile Park (area in Halifax with about 10 football pitches). He would stop the car and just watch a random match, maybe Sunday league level. She said he had such a love of the game. Respected and revered is a rare trait in todays game and he will be always be both.
Used to see him in the Plummet Line from time to time with my mate Lance
Why was he with your mate Lance?
Tony Dunne has passed away too.
Watching an MUTV program today and the players saying how much they owe to his guidance ..

I'm gonna veer away from this one. Geddit? Me neither.
