Yes Tynie, Denis Law's goal was a cheeky back-heel. I reckon he thought he would not score either and looked shocked when the ball went in (I saw this on TV). He was disconsolate after that and was in tears when he left the field. Man United lost that game and I think that defeat was the one that confimed relegation for Man United, but I'm going on memory regarding confirmation of relegation.
As for the Munich 'sympathy vote', it could well be that it has created families of Man United Fans, like this :
Dad was a 'sympathiser', his Son grows up supporting Man United like his Dad, then the Son has his Son who also follows Man United. Sounds a bit Biblical, just missing the 'begats' !
