Appearances
We were playing Aberdeen in the European Cup and he signalled out Gordon Strachan and said, you know, he's a fabulous player and it's not a matter of time before he plays and won the big clubs in England and stuff like that.
And then, whether it was a month, two months later, he actually said,
to somebody who wasn't me personally, that he had said that, hoping that Gordon would try and win the game on his own, having too many touches.
So he was obviously worried about him.
He was trying to encourage him to win the game on his own.
And that's the only time I can think that he was cute.
Bob Paisley was extremely cute.
And that's the only time I can think of anything remotely like that.
We were always just concerned with what we did.
I think for Fergie,
I think he got the response of Kevin that he wanted, you know, because obviously the Newcastle players would have looked at that.
Yeah, great television, great headlines for the newspapers.
And I think it showed a nervousness that maybe I've been around Newcastle at that time.
You know, Newcastle haven't won anything since 1968, the first cup.
So, you know, they were so close though in touching distance to winning that trophy.
And I just think, you know, players that have not been down that road before do get nervous.
And I think that's exactly how it panned out.
You know, Fergie, with the team he had, vast experience of winning trophies, and they just kept their nerve better than Newcastle did.
You know, Newcastle played a brand of football that was, you know, everyone was talking about, everyone wanted to watch.
But if you're a seasoned pro, you know that always trying to go out with one thing in mind, you know, just outscore everyone we play against.
