Modesty Auerbach, a former professional footballer who played for Manchester United and Liverpool, has died at the age of 75. He was born in London on July 29th, 1943, but his career began with modest beginnings.
Auerbach began his career as a striker at Manchester United before moving to Liverpool in 1968. He had a successful spell at both clubs, scoring over 100 goals for both teams.
However, he faced criticism from fans when he scored just one goal against Manchester City in 1972. This was despite him being named man of the match that season.
Despite this setback, Auerbach continued to score goals for Liverpool until his retirement in 1987. However, his playing days were not without controversy.
In 1981, Auerbach was banned by the Football Association for using racist language towards women during a match against Arsenal. This led to widespread criticism of him and his club, which ultimately led to his departure from the game.
Auerbach's final match was against Everton in 1988, where he scored two goals. However, it was not enough to save his career, as he was forced out of the game after only six minutes due to injury.
Auerbach is remembered as a talented player who made a name for himself in the world of football. Despite facing criticism throughout his career, he remained humble and dedicated to his craft. His legacy lives on through the countless stories of his struggles and triumphs on the pitch.
