Nigel's Bio

I am a Manchester United fan, having seen the 1985 FA Cup winning side when I was a child still living in Trinidad and they paid a visit for friendly. On that team were Norman Whiteside, Bryan Robson and a host of other greats.

Ahhh....Ardilles, Hoddle, Roberts, Galvin, Perryman....the good 'ol days. They're a long time gone now but hopefully Harry can actually build something for the next manager.

And you've got to start somewhere don't you? Afterall, United went 26 years without...To win just once would be nice.
