The reappearance of the Manchester United suit on Monday will be fleeting but it still has an aura.
That was an evocative sight of the Manchester United players and staff, in their Paul Smith suits, quietly streaming into Manchester Cathedral on Monday afternoon.
Come his final European jaunt to the consecrated Bernabeu in 2013, Ferguson was in his club suit and tie but the players weren't. David Moyes, in one of his few authoritative measures, insisted the players slip back into their suits for trips. Michael Carrick used to be in awe of the United blazers as a West Ham apprentice when the team arrived at the Boleyn Ground. Much was made of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ordering the players to suit up again in January 2019 yet that directive lasted 14 months. United arrived at Wembley for the 2023 League Cup final in tracksuits.
One of the most treasured images of United lore was captured in Amorim's previous workplace of Lisbon. The day before United outclassed Benfica 5-1 in the European Cup in 1966, John Connelly, Bobby Charlton, Harry Gregg, Paddy Crerand, Matt Busby, David Herd, Nobby Stiles, Denis Law, Tony Dunne, George Best, Shay Brennan and Bill Foulkes lined up in front of the Monument of the Discoveries by the Tagus River. All of them are besuited.
Evans' eulogy for Kath Phipps upstaged Sir Alex Ferguson's. Evans is bright and gleefully shared his GCSE results with his tutor while an apprentice at United. He researched and wrote the eulogy himself, reaching out to current and former players.
