He absolutely loved him, heard all about his first spell with us before Torino and he told me that when he went to United he used to go to the swamp when City played away just to watch Denis. He also used to tell me to do the arm in the air celebration when I was a kid, something that I carried on doing even when I was too old to be celebrating sunday league goals!

Me too, my mate was a rag & I could not afford away games so I used to go to the swamp with him, I loved Denis, he was razor sharp in the area, a real fox in the box, although not the tallest he could jump very high for headers, first time I ever saw a goal scored with one of those overhead bicycle kicks. Amazing player & decent bloke too.
