Patrick Timothy "Paddy" Crerand (born 19 February 1939 in Glasgow, Scotland) was a Scottish-born footballer of Irish descent After six years at Celtic he moved to Manchester United where he was a member of teams that won the English League title twice, the FA Cup and European Cup. He gained 16 international caps for Scotland. He spent one season managing Northampton Town and has since forged a career in the media. He started on radio, and now commentates on matches for MUTV. After six years at Celtic (120 appearances, 5 goals), he signed for Manchester United on 6 February 1963, the fifth anniversary of the Munich air disaster, making his debut against Blackpool. He was a hard-tackling midfielder who, while known for his tenacity and tackling ability, was also an accurate passer, creating chances for attacking players such as Bobby Charlton and George Best. It was once said that while United had Best, Law and Charlton, an in-form Paddy was the heartbeat of the team. He helped United to the league championship in 1965 and 1967 and won winners' medals in the 1963 FA Cup and 1968 European Cup finals. He represented the Scottish national side on 16 occasions. He retired in 1972, having appeared in 401 games, scoring 19 goals for United. He was manager of Northampton Town in 1976-77 and covered United matches on local radio in the 1980s and early 1990s.
