Evra stuck 2 fingers up (or possibly gave the middle finger, can't remember) at me and my mum in 2010, funnily enough also in a league cup semi 1st leg. We may have been winding him up at the time, waving him off the pitch at the end of the game.

I was in the Platt Lane that night City always had a big crew in the top right hand corner benches near the Kippax for years

Kerstin Casparij was banned for a game and also fined for reciprocating the gesture to the ragette's fans.

It’s probably just old age, but I must admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Nobby Stiles and a few of the proper Manchester lads who played for the rags back in the 60s.

If you shouted at Nobby to fuck off, he would just shout it back. A kid from the good old days when everyone dreamed of playing for their local team, who never forgot his roots.

Local lads like Nobby and Mike Doyle made Manchester derbies interesting. Dirty, hard bastards who took no prisoners, proper fans battling for local pride, and going for a laugh together afterwards - just like workmates / schoolmates etc did after arguing for the full week before the derby.

When football was the people's game.

So, wherever you are Nobby... Fuck off you red bastard, thanks for the memories.
