He gave United a penalty and sent Slippy off after a dangerous two footed lunge that could easily have broken Carrick's leg and is a red any day of the week in a FA cup game a few years back. And, thus .... his legend was born.
He will be missed by Liverpool fans more than United as he was a sort of coping mechanism for them in deluding themselves he was the only reason for United's success and their failure.
I will remember him most though for not sending De Jong off.
