Malcolm Allison RIP - Confirmed

[PistonBlue]

A very, very sad day for this club. It's a shame he didn't live to see us 'terrorise Europe' once more.

Good on you Malcolm, R.I.P.

A reporter asked Malcolm "Why do more people go to Old Trafford than go to maine road " he said "more people read the Beano than War and Peace .
Always loved that one.

He was before my time but just talking to my dad and this was his best memory of him...

"I will never forget when we played Liverpool in 1973 in the FA Cup 4th Round at Anfield.
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife because they were both great teams.
At about 15 minutes before kick off, Malcolm Alison emerged from the tunnel dressed in a sharp suit and walked in front of the Kop and stood there with his arms outstretched as if we’d already won the game.The crowd went crazy.He’d have been jailed nowadays.nil nil draw, won the replay 2-0"

its as if he used to finish his team talk then say to the players - right, i'm off to take the cop/stretford end on, on my own - how hard can it be for you?
