Why Man United should ignore the nostalgia factor and bulldoze Old Trafford, writes RIATH AL-SAMARRAI

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Sir Gareth Edwards saw the funny side when we chatted a few months ago about what could no longer be seen. As with so many of his conversations, the other party brought up the greatest try ever scored and his descriptions were beautifully vivid as he charted that ball's journey of wonder 51 years ago in Cardiff. Pass by pass, sidestep to offload to dive, he recalled it all as we stood 150 yards or thereabouts from where he and a few Barbarians had made their magic. But identifying the precise spot he crossed against the All Blacks was harder to pin down. It was impossible, actually, with the patch of ground concealed by decades of rebuilding, remodelling and renaming on the site of the old National Stadium, filled today by the Principality Stadium.

There is also the remembrance of Elton John gently taking over DJ duties in an encounter in a Radio Clyde studio. He also recounts tentative job offers from Rangers and the Scottish Football Association.
