Was talking to him about a mate yesterday.
Was I correct in saying that he only ever got booked once in his carreer and that was in his last game?
I seem to recall that it was a harsh booking as well.

An absolute gentleman, both on and off the pitch.

Unfortunately I don't keep such esteemed company.

I'm not 100% sure about this but my recollection of the facts is that he was only booked once and it was towards the end of his career but not his last game.

You were famously only booked once in your entire career. What do you remember about that incident?

I remember it well. It was the replay in the league cup against Nottingham Forest. We’d drawn at Wembley and the replay was at Old Trafford. Pat Partridge was the referee, and he’d give a penalty against Phil Thompson, which was an awful decision. He tackled the guy about a yard outside the area. The guy fell inside the area and he gave them a penalty, which upset us. Then I just went for a ball with Peter Withe, a scouser. Anyway, the two of us went for a ball and he was a tall lad and I caught him in the chest. I think everyone was surprised when he took my name. It was unfortunate, and it’s been a talking point ever since. I think at the time Liverpool tried to get it scratched off but it wasn’t.

It was Bobby Charlton who was only booked in his last game.
 
And to think the start of our European Cup wins started with the immortal words...

"Well won by Callaghan..." Before Terry Mac scored the first versus Borussia in 77.
