Biography

Brian Greenhoff was an English footballer known for his technical ability, composure on the ball, and versatility as both a central defender and midfielder. Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, he joined Manchester United's youth academy and made his first-team debut away to Ipswich Town in 1-2 defeat. Greenhoff quickly became a regular, recognized for his solid defensive skills and intelligent play.

Greenhoff was part of United's squad that won the 1977 FA Cup, playing a crucial role alongside Martin Buchan as United defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the final. This victory marked a high point in United's revival after a challenging decade post-Munich disaster. Known for his precise tackling and excellent passing, he was appreciated for his defensive leadership and tactical awareness.

Over his 271 appearances with Manchester United, he scored 17 goals and became a crowd favorite for his dedication. In 1979, Greenhoff transferred to Leeds United for £350,000, where he played until 1982. Though his time at Leeds was not as decorated, he remained a respected figure, contributing experience and quality to the team.

Greenhoff also earned 18 caps for England, making his international debut in 1976 and representing the national team until 1980. His ability to adapt to various roles and his tactical insight were assets to the England squad.

After retiring, Greenhoff remained connected to the football world, engaging with fans and offering insights into the game. Remembered as a dedicated and skillful player, Greenhoff left a lasting impact on English football and is fondly recalled as a key figure in Manchester United's rebuilding era. His legacy endures among United supporters who value his contributions during a crucial period in the club's history. Brian is the brother of Jimmy Greenhoff.
