RIP Nobby Stiles

[horsechoker]

I saw him play a few times. He was more than just a crunch tackle merchant. He could run all day and also pass with accuracy. Nothing if him but he was never bullied unlike some of these muppets we have today playing for us.

Wow couldn't even have a tribute thread without shitting on our current players. We're the other 20 thread on the front page not enough?

I think you are overstating the amount of City support

Well, the geographic divide in Manchester itself has probably broken down since then because of population movements and changes to the way people support teams, but it was broadly true in the 1960s/70s (when City were the more successful team for a while).
But don't worry, I often have to correct people down here who suggest that Mancunians are all City supporters and Utd supporters all live in the south!

Am I wrong then? The current crop of Midfield/Defenders haven’t got an ounce of the drive Nobby had.

RIP Nobby Steeeles loved you. An all time united great. Don’t make them like Sir Nobby anymore.

It doesn't matter, it's not the place for it. Go into the Bruno, Pogba, McTominay threads if you want to have a go at them. You're not praising Nobby, you're using his memory to lambast our current players.

Enjoying seeing some of the old footage of him.
Rest in peace Sir.
