Gordon Smith was better than him according to Sir Matt Busby and us Scots stick together

I’m with Sir Matt

Gordon Smith retired at 40

I saw him on the pitch at Easter Road in 1970 for the FC Schalke 04 Friendly and he looked fit enough to play

Pretty sure we were the first club to tour South America

We taught the Brazilians how to play football
I remember that as well and Nigbur's [Sepp Maier's German number 2] performance in preventing us from scoring during the 0-0 game , up there with McCloy's Scottish cup display in 1973.

As a 13/14 YO in 1970 the FF team seemed like a lifetime ago and they last played together in 1955, so only 15 years and this game doesn't seem anywhere near 51 years ago!
