Big Ron's 4 Goals At OT, Can Anyone Help?

Yeah we did, Ron ended their skipper Bill Foulkes's career that day, Busby never used him again I believe!!

 

That's terrible news. I know it was a tougher tackling time, but I don't think we shouldn't be glorifying dangerous injuries. Did he get sent off for it?

No...mush, they walked off the field chatting...Matt Busby just never picked him again, as he went from being a European champion to being a Southampton player's b!tch in that game.

As stated in the Wikipedia entry for Bill Foulkes

 

'After winning the European Cup, Foulkes felt he had achieved all he could and wished to retire. However, Busby managed to convince him to stay for 2 more years. The next season, United finished 11th in the league. In the 1969-70 season, Wilf McGuinness (who had played alongside Foulkes in the late 1950s) replaced the retiring Busby as manager of United. Foulkes played only 3 games under McGuinness, the last coming in a 1–4 loss against Southampton at Old Trafford on 16 August 1969. By this stage, he was the oldest player in the team at the age of 37'

Yeah...I coulda given him the benefit of the doubt, but from prior posts other people have told me he's none bright (I didn't say that), so just straightening him out mate.
