The Yorkshire Post says: Tributes to Eric Harrison, the Yorkshire coach who made David Beckham and the ‘Class of 92’


Born in Mytholmroyd, he was integral to the development of a golden generation of young players, including David Beckham, Ryan Giggs Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers. And while they did achieve fame and fortune, they never forgot the Yorkshireman who, together with the incomparable Sir Alex Ferguson, helped to make them.
Harrison’s legacy was best summed up by Beckham who said: “He made us understand how to work hard and respect each other and not just on the pitch. We won’t forget the life lessons he gave us.” And neither will football.
