Older fans will remember the Greenhoff chant the Man Utd fans used to sing....brother Jimmy was a great player to.

Seem to remember Brian as a really classy footballer........RIP.

RIP Brian, I saw him play twice for England at Wembley in the late 70's underrated hard tackling midfielder.

RIP Brian, heard this yesterday, 60 is no age at all. I remember him and Jimmy against Liverpool in the 77 Cup final...

Sad news indeed also remember him in that '77 final.

Also anyone remember Mick McManus? Wrestling star of the 60s/ 70's he died yesterday too.

Finally rest bite for his cauliflower ears! Can't believe how huge wrestling was on World of Sport in the 60s and 70s.

I remember watching it in the 70's, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Mick McManus etc. I can't believe he was 93, means he was in his 50's when he was wrestling when i watched him on tv back then.
