Position | Goalkeeper |
An agile goalkeeper, spectacular, vied with Ray Wood and Harry Gregg for first-team spot. Debut (16) FA Charity Shield 1956 (substitute). Gaskell's appearance in the FA Charity Shield v. Manchester City at Maine Road (24/10/1956) came about 10 years before substitutes were introduced. Ray Wood was injured during the first-half and carried off. Duncan Edwards took over the jersey. United continued with 10 men. During half-time, Matt Busby and City manager Les McDowall agreed that a sub could take Wood's place. The referee went along with the arrangement. Gaskell was just 16 years and 19 days old and had just signed for United from Wigan Schoolboys (and England Boys). He had attended the match as a spectator and as no 'reserve' keeper was available, Gaskell was pressed into service in borrowed kit. No-one in the ground had any idea who he was! David proved an excellent keeper but competition from Wood and Gregg restricted his chances. Won FA Cup medal (1963).
