    One of those ex players you don't see or hear about.
    Was in the first team I started to support, with brother Jimmy, when I was a nipper.

    FA cup winner and treble wrecker in '77, rip indeed.

    Where's Tunns, he'll remember fondly too.

    Although having now read the link looks like he didn't get a game in the 77 final. Jimmy did.

    Think he played in the 76 losing team, first one I remember.


    *edit, I was right first time. No idea why the article would mention his second division medal and not FA cup*

    <peacedove> condolences. My cousin used to take me to Old Trafford way back when I was a kid and we visited Manchester. I remember seeing him play.

    Sad news - remember him and his brother Jimmy playing for you in the late 70's - both good players. Didn't even know Brian was ill
