Who played left-back for Man United in the 1968 European Cup Final?

[Karnie]

In doing research on the show, I came across a deleted scene mentioning the 1968 European Cup Final, and who played Left Back.

According to Holly in the scene, it was Shay Brennan, then corrected himself by saying Tony Dunn. According to the notes here on G&T for the scripts of that scene, however, He was right the first time.

Now, according to wikipedia, it was, in fact, Tony Dunn. I don’t necessarily trust Wikipedia, so can anyone link me another source verifying one way or another? I’m having an odd amount of difficulty verifying this one tidbit of information. Thanks!

I’ve had a look on Statto.com, but they only have scores and not starting line-ups (as far as I can see, anyway) and I stopped searching after that. I AM USEFUL.

For reference, here’s Ian’s original post on the matter back in the days when he was writing detailed articles instead of doing his school work.

Hmm, OK that’s not that useful.

Various clips of the match are on YouTube though if you’re that fussed.

Thanks Jonathan, that’s actually the script notes I was referring to that got me researching the info. It’s for a book I’m currently working on, and we tend to be real nitpickers for accuracy, so rather than get the info wrong, I just may leave it out altogether if I can’t verify.

I wouldn’t trust anything I said this morning, let alone eight years ago.
