And Richardson added his own touching tribute to the coach, telling talkSPORT he was a legendary figure at Manchester United when he joined the club in 2002 at the age of 18.I knew Eric Harrison very well and Gary Neville was spot on, he was such a nice guy and a very firm and strong coach, said the ex-England winger,who won the FA Youth Cup with the Red Devils.He was unbelievable. I never had a coach like that ever before I first went to Manchester United, he really got the best out of us.I was so sad when I heard the news this morning, its heartbreaking.What I liked most about him was he just told you how it was. If you were not good enough, hed say you werent good enough. Work on this, lad. Try to get better at this.I had a very good relationship with Eric Harrison and its a sad day that hes passed away.1

Richardson made 81 appearances in all competitions for Man United between 2002 and 2007

When I went to Manchester I knew he had already brought through the Class of 92, so when he spoke to me I used to just completely absorb it in.“Hed brought through David Beckham. I just knew whatever he was saying must be working because he brought so many of these great players through.Everything he said was spot on. He was a top, top coach and one of the best Ive ever come across.
