Lou Macari gave Manchester United 12 excellent seasons of service.
A busy striker who became midfield playmaker in the 1970s, a wonderful servant who always gave 100%.
Despite playing in four Cup Finals (three FA Cup, one League Cup), he only had one winners medal when Liverpool were beaten in the FA Cup Final in 1977. His shot, possibly on its way into the net, deflected off Jimmy Greenhoff's chest for the winner.
He won a League Division Two champions medal in 1975.
Lou was later involved at Old Trafford with MUTV.
