Most amazing sight at the Manchester derby wasn't The Best Goal In The History Of Mankind but some home fans wearing 'split scarves' in the colours of both teams... meaning some supposed United diehards were actually sporting the blue of their hated rivals.

No doubt they can add to their collection at the Liverpool match in March.

DAFT QUOTES: THE BEST OF PARRY

In tribute to Mike Parry's departure from Talksport, we present the short-armed ginger tube's greatest moments:

"What Ron Atkinson said was unforgiveable. Although, in time, we should forgive him"

"The ref is in a no-win, no-lose situation"

"If Ronaldinho joins Blackburn it will turn the whole circus into a circus"

"Making predictions is like throwing a dartboard at the fixture list"

"You can't turn a sow's ear into a rose. Or a flower."

"Has Robbie Keane ever set on fire at any team he's played for?"

"Morten Gamst Pedersen should be given a posthumous red card"

"The England game was a bit of a damp squid"

"Darren Bent's second goal was a mastercraft"

"A blizzard was blazing all around him"

"Nothing can expand without it growing"

"When he takes a penalty, Graham Alexander turns his foot into a spatula-type device"

"You could visibly hear the strain in Michael Owen's voice there"

"Jo has become a national hero on half of Merseyside"

"Man City have put a spanner in the waves"

"Tony Pulis is literally giving blood 24 hours a day"

"Did you have any Mogadon tablets to keep you awake?"

"Blackburn's new owners... the Indian farmers from chicken"

"There's a certain Englishness about the English game"

"Stamford Bridge holds 42,000. So ten per cent of that would be about 4.1 thousand"

"Neil Warnock has kept a sack of letters from n'er-do-gooders"

"Anfield will be a fortress cauldron today"

"I like a French baguette with ham and maisonnaise"

"He's a minefield of information"

"While I'm there, I might go and see my cousin (long pause)... who I've just remembered has actually died and I apologise to all concerned"
