I remember him well as a player. He was labelled the crab due to his alleged sideways passing which was totally unfair. His forward passing was outstanding but he would never just punt the ball forward if there was no pass on, preferring to keep the ball with a sideways pass. Within a matter of weeks he lost the captaincy of United and England to Bryan Robson but I never heard him complain about it. He was one of my early favourites and I am gutted with this news. I extend my sympathy to his family and friends.
