Your Team?
Manchester Unuted

Why?
Was born about 10 miles away from Old Trafford. All the family support United so I wasn't going to upset the apple cart

For How long?
Nearly 30 years now

First game?
'83 when a Barcelona side including a certain Diego Maradonna were humbled by Bryan Robson & Frank Stapleton

Most memorable game?
Lots of 'em but here's a few

Probably the derby at Maine Road in the 90's. Siddy were 2-0 up at Half Time and we won 3-2 with Keano getting the winner.

Nou Camp 1999. The real treble accept no imitations

League Cup against Liverpool in '90 iirc. We had just been battered 4-0 at Anfailed with a Beardsley Hat Trick and we drew Liverpool in the cup. We won 3-1 with Hughsey scoring a screamer of a volley from about 30 yards out

Worst game?
4-0 as above

Fav player?
Le King

What of your team now?

Football has changed a lot since I started watching it. I used to travel up and down the country watching United and had a season ticket for a good 15 years. Back in the 80's it was a sport. Nowadays its a consumer product wrapped up into a nice little package. I still support United and am still as passionate now as I was back then but its just too damn expensive. I think were still very lucky to have Ferguson as manager as he tries to play football the right way. We have the luxury of a manager who accepts that he has obligations to play football in a certain attacking way.

Im not one to jump on the back of the Glazers like some of the fans. yes they have saddled us with a load of debt but its being managed and if wasnt them it would be some bugger else

We're just tooooo predictable.
