Although noted more for stopping goals, Foulkes is fondly recalled for his happy knack of notching critical strikes. One in particular stands out – his goal against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in 1968, which helped send Manchester United to the European Cup final.

Foulkes retired in June 1970 but remained at Old Trafford as a coach before moving on to work in other countries.
