    Man United player when this happened, but nevertheless - good times.

    “My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan,” the Old Trafford icon once said.

    I like Ferguson’s reaction to it:

    “So, the gaffer comes in and Eric is already dressed and sat in the corner. We ended up drawing 1-1 in the end and the gaffer had a pop at a couple of the players, hammered a couple of the lads and the next minute he turned to Eric and we all thought, ‘this is it’.

    “But then he just looked at him and said: ‘Eric, you can’t go around doing that, son’. That was the sum total of the hairdryer for Eric, which was kind of funny, really.

        [uk judge voice] you can't go around laying out nazis because they might actually be innocent liberals who have to dress like that for medical reasons
