Red Devil is on a distinguished road
11. Pat Crerand



Pat was born on 11th February 1939 in Glasgow. Pat played 392 games for Manchester United, scoring 15 goals. He also played for his homeland, Scotland gaining 16 caps. A member of the European cup winning team in 1968 he also gained 2 championship medals in 64/65 and 67/68. He previously played for Celtic 1958 - 1963. Tried his hand at managing Northampton but only for one season 76/77 He had previousely been assistant manager under Tommy Docherty for a short time. Now a pundit and match commentator on MUTV.

Pat was a footballer who tried to learn all he could about the opposition. In the 1963 cup final he knew that Banks, in the Leicester goal, was apt to threw the ball out to fellow Scot Dave Gibson. During the game he noted that Gibson was free and Banks had the ball, so whilst others waited, he sprinted forward and took possession of the ball from Gibson, threading it through to Denis Law, who duly scored.
