….Johnny Smith from Bebington, but both originally from Kells in Ireland, used to pick me up on the way and bring me to Old Trafford. I never wanted to go but bless his heart he was trying to do a nice thing.i was an ungrateful wee git.After a few games I kicked up about the fact I was a Toffee and not interested in going to ManU!!
However. It meant I got to see Best, Law, Charlton and the rest of that ManU team.
I was in my 30’s when Johnny died but I did sent his widow a letter to say that I had been appreciative etc when I had looked back on his acts of kindness when I was old enough to appreciate it.
Law was a key part of that team, an unbelievable striker in his day. RIP

His death has been announced this evening, he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in recent years. Formidable player.
