In a short period of time Mick Phelan has used his Utd coaching experience under Fergie to convince the players that it is a reasonable idea to pass the ball to someone in the same colour of shirt, e.g. red with a hint of black!!! 🤔

A few months ago, I had the privilege of visiting Harry Gregg at his home, he showed me his astonishing collection of memorabilia. We sat in his front room and I listened to Harry’s tales, some sad, many of them joyous. I was blessed that day. Deepest condolences to his family.
