Agree, I think the managers influence would have nudged him in that direction. As for Barry , wrong team wrong time comes to mind . The Advocaat era Ferguson could have played for any of the top English sides of the time. Not sure why he gets it so tight from some at times, probably the PLG episode but hindsights a great thing & most fans at the time would agree that PLG's revolution wasn't working at the time & didn't look like paying dividends any time soon. As an aside, does anyone think that Charlie ,Derek or Barry's return from injury would have attracted over 12 000 to a reserve game.
