Back in the throes of Covid, Nathan Murphy was joined as ever by John Giles, and in this episode came just one week after Liverpool XI caused plenty of debate (yes, Trent again), it’s time for an even bigger task: John’s all-time Manchester United XI — with a clear cut-off point of around 1960.

From Peter Schmeichel in goal to an Irish double-act at full-back with Denis Irwin and Tony Dunne, John explains every call, including a no-nonsense centre-half pairing of Nemanja Vidić and Jaap Stam.

In midfield it’s Scholes, Keane and the “best I ever played with” Bobby Charlton, before a front three of Ronaldo, Denis Law and George Best — and John’s big calls on Rooney, Robson, Giggs and Beckham.

Ahead of Sunday's meeting of Leeds United and Manchester United, a game you can hear live on Off The Ball on Newstalk and the GoLoud App from 2 o'clock with Stephen Doyle joined by Brian Kerr, we have trawled through the archives to give you some good old John Giles OTB greatness.
