Sign him upHe has still got it. Leg-end :-)
Yeah I was big fan. Agreed should have stayed a few more years.Remember being really excited when we signed him. It certainly worked out, great player for us, always thought he left too soon.
That first season of Mancini was probably the best for that, when teams still thought they could go head-to-head with us. The Burnley away game was a great example of this, we were four or five up in no time and could have been a cricket score if the rain hadn't have come down to save them.I'd forgotten what it was like playing against teams when they didn't all park the bus.
That was the sixth, Eccles, and the result of the best assist ever.My favourite goal was always the long, long pass from David Silva in the Trafford United game to make it 1-5 (or was it 1-6)
Beautiful control from both of them absolutely exquisite. :-) :-)
