RIP Nobby. As memorable a character as Charlton Best and Law for fans like me. Remember him playing for both United and England. Sadly the game never provided him with the financial security he deserved. True professional and a gentleman too.
“He was such a character. Before games, he’d be walking around the dressing room with his boots on, his socks on, his shirt on and nothing else. No shorts or underwear. He’d be walking around the dressing room trying to gee us up and we’d just be averting our gaze and thinking: “Bloody hell.” It was more than a little off-putting – he had loads of these weird superstitions.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/oct/31/mark-lawrenson-nobby-stiles-coaching-preston
