Never realised until tonight watching the red half of Manchester playing? that it's 10 years since he died

Liked him as a footballer, didn't like the way he abused his talent & lifestyle, but, a loss nonetheless

Also died at the same time was one of Britain's most talented sportsmen - the world champion rally driver, Richard Burns, who died at such a young age through no fault of his own.
I don't see his name mentioned on the news anywhere

Just my opinion Ronnie but he is the most naturally gifted footballer of all time.Sadly,his lack of self discipline and not being part of more high profile international team meant he never achieved his true place in football history.No 1 in my book

Everyone cosidered.
