Keith Houchen Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 He was “Mr Man Utd” wasn’t he? What with the Munich disaster and rebuilding the team and indeed the team spirit, right through to his last years, he lived and breathed the club. A big loss to Manchester and to the footballing world.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 21, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 21, 2023 Probably the single most important player in United's history. He embodied everything they needed after Munich and beyond. His influence is almost incalculable.
