McNulty getting all the praises on the BBC

Man U didnt turn a blind eye to his drinking exploits. Very often Matt Busby would lecture Best in his office. Best would say later that when called into Busby's office to be chastised, he would simply look beyond the manager and count the emblems on the wallpaper. His last top division match was when he was 27 (ironically previous to his last match he played against us in our 2-1 Boxing Day win in 1973) and was never the same player again but he still pulled in crowds at Fulham and other few clubs. His peak was probably when he was 22 in 1968

Nice bit of info. Bad comparison I know.

I'm guessing the nickname 'Sparky' is ironic.

A few years ago I was in a pub in Worsley on a Friday night and Giggs was in with his mates. He lived somewhere round there at the time (as did Beckham). Anyway, some guy was giving him some gip and Giggs took at a £50 note, put a lighter to it, and said "That's what I can do mate". The guy promptly smacked him and layed him out and said "And that's what I can do". He played that Sunday with a black eye. That's where he got it from!

No you weren't, no he wasn't, and no he didn't.

Other than that, great story!......

Ok. That's the problem with getting old. You forget exactly where you were in 1996/97/98.
