What he did in his personal life and the demons he was facing are of little consequence to me.
He was an amazing footballer, and while we didn't get to see much of his play in America, my United DVD collection and the numbers of books I've read show and describe him as one of the best - mostly by his peers, and that says a lot. I too feel saddened, Mank.
