RIP Gordon, friend & teammate. Biggest character in football, large as life, funny, full of desire. Took to Utd like a natural & loved the roar after one of his runs. That awful illness robbed us of the real Gordon, heart goes out to family, wife Yvonne was a 24/7 warrior for him.

Farewell Sir Bobby, you were as near perfection as anyone could be, as a player and a person. What a privilege to make my United debut alongside you, and to play in your last game, number 758. Manchester won't have seen a send off like it, beginning at Old Trafford on Tuesday RIP.

Big thank you to #MUFC and those who put together a 4 page tribute to mark 50 years since I signed for United. Great surprise, not least because the anniversary hadn't occurred to me! Not sure which makes me feel older, though, 50 years or half a century.

Farewell to The Doc, his humour & witty one liners were crucial by filling us with confidence & relaxing us. In 74 he told us we'd be back as champs & in 76 said we'd win the FAC 12 months later, & we did. So proud to play in a team reflecting his personality. A one off! #MUFC.

I rarely disagree with Roy Keane & Paul Scholes re #ManUnited but when they lament lack of leadership, genuinely aggressive winners, they must realise those sort don't exist anymore, so the problem isn't unique to Utd, there just aren't any like Keane or Scholes around. anywhere!.

Re the scrapping of FA Cup replays: will the lower league clubs protest by pulling out of next season's FA Cup one by one? And if they do, who will be the first club to get the ball rolling? The competition certainly can't go ahead without these clubs.

When i looked at the league table this morning we were 7th,what does based on underlying figures mean 🤔.
Based on underlying figures this season, Manchester United should be 2nd in the Premier League based on their performances – only behind Manchester City. Solskjær's men have done enough to win their games this season. There is no need to be reactionary and panic.

No player in this country in the last fifty years as good as George.
If you think I'm exaggerating how good George Best was. Sorry the truth is I struggle to put it in writing how special he was. He was that good.

I still maintain he was my best signing at Stoke, despite this cameo at Villa Park for the Gordon Cowans testimonial being his one and only first team appearance. You certainly couldn't put a transfer figure on that figure at today's prices. Another photo from that game tomorrow
