In reply toI really am not trying to be smug in this thread... Since I have been aware of the world around me - Sir Alex has been at Man Utd. Spoiled as a fan, yes!
Settling for 'passion' as a left back doesn't cut it with me. Passion gets you so far (Keegan).
TBF - I would rather Manchester United won the Champions League than England winning anything.

I remember United before that and when they were struggling initially under him. In fact at one point Venks he was close to the sack, it was thought that if they got knocked out of the FA Cup by us that was it. They won 1-0 and I can recall we equalised late on as well but got it very harshly ruled out for offside due to one of players lying injured. It's funny how these things work out because he has turned out to be really well suited to United, nowadays I recon he would have been sacked a while before that point.
My first away game was actually at Old Trafford, we had tickets within the home supporters as couldn't get them with the travelling fans as it was sold out. Ron Atkinson was in charge of you lot I think and although there was an iffy penalty to you lot we won 3-2 at the death after only equalising a few minutes before. I digress but we used to get some decent results against you lot, even under Fergie
