QuoteRemi Moses played for Man UTD and WBA back in the '70s. Good player capped for England. I remember the banner at the '77 Cup final, United V Liverpool.
'Moses will part the Red Sea'... tarra what sticks in the memory. Long time ago.
RIP..
Reports are he is alive and well.

A  funeral for him  is planned for 13 December  though. Not sure what's going on there
The wife contacted Man U to say he was dead and when the funeral was.

One of his kids say he is alive and well.

Until he posts a picture of himself with a dated newspaper I won't know what to believe.

He joined United in 1981 though and didn't play in the 1983 or 1985 finals, so it wasn't either of those.

🤣🤣🤣
It really is tarea what sticks in the mind

First black player to score for united apparently. I suppose IIRC Viv Anderson was their first black player in  the early eighties?

The legendary Steve Cropper.

Wouldn't have known much about him until I saw a younger picture and The Blues Brothers mentioned.  Has to have been cool so.  RIP.

He was an understated but very influential guitarist, songwriter and producer.  It was him who took the demo of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" and finished the song after Otis Redding died in the plane crash. Member of Booker T and the MGs, who were the house band at Stax Records and of course put out their own stuff ("Green Onions", that song the BBC used for the cricket). Wrote songs like "Soul Man" and "In the Midnight Hour". And of course, himself and Donald Duck Dunn, his colleague from the MGs, were part of the Blues Brothers band.

Think Booker T died recently as well, pretty sure I read his Obituary somewhere. I downloaded Soul Limbo(cricket) & a few other tunes shortly after a rabbit hole read.

Edit, not dead, can't remember why I went down that reading rabbit hole now

Booker T is still alive and kicking! In fact, he's the only one of the four left now that Cropper has died.

Duck Dunn died in 2012, and the drummer Al Jackson was murdered by a burgler in 1975.

For those interested, the band features heavily in an excellent documentary on Stax Records that came out last year. Tiny label, but they struck gold with Booker T and the MGs and others, Otis Redding, and then after Otis died, Isaac Hayes.

Huge fan of the film but must confess to knowing little about them individually other than they were an actual band for a while. Be some stories due to the sheer number of actors/musicians involved

They should start band. Or write a song about it at least

Lol, I can remember what happened now, started from a chat/google about Otis & the Elevators! Must have veered off in the Otis Reading direction ending up with Booker T & MGs. Getting old & confused

And Mr. T is still alive just in case you wanted to involve him.
