Macari was a pocket dynamo in United’s midfield during the mid-to-late 70s, and made 401 appearances for the club before departing in 1984.
The Scot then progressed into management, and became a hero in the Potteries during the early 90s, when he led Stoke City from the lower reaches of the third tier to promotion, prior to accepting the manager’s job at his boyhood club Celtic.
The 70-year-old’s subsequent community work within Staffordshire has only further endeared him to the residents of Stoke and its nearby communities – though he hasn’t managed to convert many of the Macari Centre’s residents to the United faith.
“Their highlight of the week is when I come back from Old Trafford after a match and I bring them some pies!”
joked Macari.
“They love the Man United pies. But it’s all they like about Man United, because most of them are Stoke supporters!”
