Tale of the man in the middle of Old Trafford brawl

Keith Hackett was the referee when all hell broke out in Manchester United's Old Trafford clash with Arsenal in 1990.

The bad blood had been simmering for a while. David Rocastle was sent off at Old Trafford in 1987, retaliating to a foul by Norman Whiteside, as the Gunners were riled at losing a 22-match unbeaten record.

When Brian McClair skied a last-minute penalty at Highbury, costing the Reds the chance of an 1988 FA Cup fifth-round replay, Nigel Winterburn's decision to taunt the crestfallen Scot was always going to stick in the mind of the striker and his team-mates.
