Joey Russ 7,228 Posted October 30, 2020 I’m actually surprised by his death. Not because I didn’t think he would die soon, but more of how long he ended up lasting. RIP to a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fergie86 376 Posted October 30, 2020 Sad news as a United fan loved Nobby for what he achieved at the club not only for his playing career were he won league and European Cup for the club but also for helping produce the class of 92 of Beckham, Giggs and Scholes to name but a few who dominated the domestic game and won in Europe too as well of course of winning the World Cup in 66 all while been as blind as a bat. Also a death list legend he seemed to linger on forever amazed he lasted for so long considering his health. RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh aye, my bad - they were already playing in league games by 66, though - right? I once met Keith Peacock, played for Charlton off the bench in 1965 and became the first sub in English league football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Peacock was indeed the first sub, and on my 5th birthday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
