The passing of our long-serving receptionist in December sparked a wave of tributes from those lucky enough to grace her presence throughout a Reds career that began in 1968.
Phipps began as a switchboard operator and later became a fixture at Old Trafford's directors' box entrance, before taking on the role of training ground receptionist, ensuring all visitors were greeted by the cheeriest of welcomes.
Kath’s funeral was held at Manchester Cathedral and Sir Alex Ferguson was among those who attended. The club icon read the eulogy in memory of his friend and former colleague.
Ruben Amorim’s first-team squad was present and, as an Academy graduate who knew Kath for decades, Jonny Evans proudly performed a reading in tribute.
