Yes, but only up to a point, there was always some slight reservation, dont know why. When we won the title under Joe, Busby was one of the first to ring and congratulate him. Of course, he captained city before going to Liverpool.

Going back further, was Busby respected by City fans in the 40’s/50’s/60’s/70’s? Anyone?
Before my time.

We did get murdered when Mario did similar in a fucking pre-season friendly against LA Galaxy and Mancini hooked him straight away.There wasn't anyone near him when he did it. As you say showing total disrespect, we'd have got murdered in the media if one of ours did that...... and rightly so

Anthony is like that guy who City used to have on at half time doing 2000 keepie uppies and balancing the ball on his nose but no chance of ever making it as a professional footballer unless the rags fall for it.

Yes, because he was a gentleman, rather than some sour-faced, mind-game player and great friends with Joe Mercer.Going back further, was Busby respected by City fans in the 40’s/50’s/60’s/70’s? Anyone?

Imagine doing that in front of someone like Mike Doyle, Tommy Smith, Norman Hunter (or a few of his other Leeds teammates). He'd be on his way to Jupiter now.I would spend eternity creating time travel to watch the Antony spin performed in front of Gerry Gow

I was a full back, if he did it in front of me he'd be going to the fucking hospital and I wouldn't even wait around to be shown the red card.Imagine doing that in front of someone like Mike Doyle, Tommy Smith, Norman Hunter (or a few of his other Leeds teammates).
