Can't believe all the bad posts about TC, I met him once at a social event,and found him to be an absolutely down to earth guy.
Chatted to him for ages about all things United,only moan he had was about not being told about Man U making a large bid for him,only finding out weeks later and the chance had gone.....

I’ve only heard him speak a couple of times and never one on one but he brings that up a lot I think. I think it’s gnawed at him for 40 years.

Sort of met him briefly once,mid to late 80's in The Sportsman. Crowded saturday afternoon pre match and it must have been the time Graham Shaw had just, or was about to take over.
He walked through a mass of bodies and asked my dad if he knew where Graham was.
I've no idea to this day why he picked him out, and neither did dad.

On a serious note & not withstanding all the "humorous" misspelt posts, I can't believe the general bad mouthing TC gets on here & the perception of him as a curmudgeonly old twat who treats everyone he meets badly. I have met him on more than a couple of times, in different situations, & he seems perfectly normal to me. I get that he would never be the life & soul of the party, but the way he was on a football field is not who he is as a person, he is actually a bit shy & awkward in company.

He was my hero, I did meet him, & am very glad I have; he is the best player I have ever seen, what he could do with a football was mind blowing, so what he is a bit moody, aren't we all? As fans of this great club we should judge him as a player for us, & not what he is like as a person, not one of us is perfect.

Met him about 1997/8 he was in the souvenir shop which for some reason was temporarily located in the john st .We were looking for a manager at the time and I remember him saying " the only way I will get the job is if the fans start getting a campaign going or something similar....true story bro

Thankfully they didn't

 

[Brownieblade]

My only concern is if he is the RC ITK on the rumour thread , if he isn’t Richard then i don’t care either way if he isn’t on the board

But do you treat your work colleagues with utter contempt and disrespect? Also my brother was in one of the summer training camps when he was younger and he can't stand TC after that.

No, even though one or two may deserve it.

Fair enough mate, given what I've heard it's no surprise.

I ain't never seen him at Bramhall Lane anyway. Shame to loose him like but he should of never went on the Board anyway.

He is there every game in the TC Suite. He talks to a lot a people on match days.

Having a free meal whilst Gage does the work along with the guest speaker. I've been there 3 times and on all those occasions he has studiously spent his time avoiding talking to fans.
Good riddance to him and his benefactor time to move on.

TC ate my hamster, shagged my wife and burnt my house down. No he didn't.

He's an ex player who was rated as one of the best in his day and was a pleasure to watch on the field. So he's not everyone's cup of tea. He most likely reads this forum. Some of the comments on here are pretty mean. Is it really necessary to slag him on here. Let it go lads. Save it for the porkers.
