Inside the Secret Friendship and Hidden Rivalry Between Clough and Alex Ferguson Revealed by Paul McGregor
“It was a vintage team we were up against that day: Cantona, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Peter Schmeichel. I’d actually played against Beckham and that whole Class of ’92 plenty of times – Clough and Alex Ferguson were good friends, and Brian would often arrange friendlies between the youth teams so he and Fergie could enjoy a few wines.
“It felt like we were always playing them. Anyway, I remember my chance falling to me in that match and banging one past Schmeichel, who’s up there with the greatest keepers of all time. It was such a special moment.”
