    1960s because of Georgie Best.

      Your local side at the time?

      You'll also remember when they were crud - late 60s/early 70s! Bet you didn't rate Ferguson in his first season!

      Don't mock the fallen giants they might just come back to bite you - eg Leicester 5 Man U 3

          In the 1970s there was a tribal phenomenon known as the Cockney Reds - so in this global village, yes my local team, then and now.

          I remember very well when United were a tad off-colour.

          I rated Ferguson from day one (to this day I am patient with managers, even Moyes - LVG will be fine).

          I am too young to recall Wednesday as giants (but I do remember I had quite a few swaps for my cards, but few takers!).

            Yes but you were happy to sign Quixall and made a big offer for Hirsty.

              I take it that this was when we nicked Hirst from under united's nose.......


              And while its on my mind,how kind we were to let united have Danny Wallace to help them win SAFs first trophy, and save his skin.......



              And my favourite united crowd chant ever....when a black cat ran onto the pitch at OT

              " one Danny Wallace, there's only one Danny Wallace"....

                No the United offer was a season or two before. Your acquisition of the great, but injury prone, striker was just one of Pleat's crass decisions.

                  don't think we have ever nicked a player from under uniteds noses, just trying to wind beefy up.

                  Hirsty was good for us in his 30 odd games. He was a bit unlucky to be around at the same time as Shearer , re England caps, I would think.
                  but usually injured, of course.

                      It was the era of Di Canio and Carbone.

                        Yes, we were so gutted about ending up with Eric Cantona, instead

                            FA cup at it's best and two cracking goals Cloughers tells me. I was trying to solve his cunning F on AA. Perhaps that could be the Spartans next challenge?

                                great win for Stu's lads.

                                good to see Cloughie keeping up his concentration for association games while such thrilling association football games are being played.

                                good point for gurney's lads too.
