Crafty Canary 547 Posted October 30, 2020 Another of the ‘66 heroes has sadly passed on. I had the great good fortune to sit next to Nobby when he was the guest speaker at a function organised by one of my suppliers. There was no side to him, he was happy to chat to all and his insights into life as a footballer under Sir Matt Busby were eye opening. Despite his fame he remained a down-to-earth individual. Football has lost one of the best today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 6,145 Posted October 30, 2020 One of favourite players as a nipper (with Kevin Keelan!). A character and he was very committed in his play. You always felt he gave all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
