Speaking at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court the United legend said: “There was lots of noise and shouting as you would expect at a football match.
“I was just walking and before I knew it, I was hit. I was absolutely not expecting it.”
“The only way I can describe it is that I was in shock. I didn’t expect it to happen, not when I was in my workplace.”
