"You then had the rest of the players waiting to see what was so special, and why he was allowed to be different and whether he was that good.

"The great thing about Eric was that when it came to Saturday, he was there for you and he did win you the game.

"It meant that the other players loved him, because we knew when match day came he would be there for us and would lead us.

"Sir Alex knew just how to inspire him and that what mattered most, and still matters most in any dressing room, is what happens on a Saturday at three o'clock."
