Nigel Benn & Lennox Lewis? You sure did lead them bullies through the wrong park!
A discussion about Paul Ince
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
Run a search for his name and more than half the results are remembering him fondly
That game also had the best cross I've ever seen or will see
He has wonky tits? Not seen the explits
By City fans!
Great player, bit of a cnut. Very like Mark Hughes.
No true United fan would ever call Mark Hughes a cnut
Well that’s obviously where you’re wrong. Or does supporting the club for over 30 years not count?
His stance towards United has changed a bit..
Ince and Keano were something else.
Ince and Keano were something else.
Then you should be ashamed of yourself, why is Mark Hughes a cnut because he managed City??
Mark hughes is a true United legend.
Not sure where this comment has come from but I’d be shocked if the majority in this forum agreed with you. I don’t
Nah, just his general bitterness. You’re more than welcome to disagree.
Each to their own. He’s shown zero warmness to United post his career here. He’s a Chelsea man.
Given the way he was shipped out I'm not surprised he felt a bit bitter but IMO he is a legend for those 2 goals in Rotterdam, the same way Ole is for 99
He chose to leave. I didn’t say he wasn’t a legend. Just that I think he’s a bitter cnut. So is Roy Keane.
Mick Phelan at the back still looking like he doesn't know what to do 
Choccy looks like teen wolf's dad
I find it kinda sad that when I think about Ince, I remember him celebrating like he'd won the lottery in front of the Kop because he thought he'd stopped us doing the treble.
So much was put into that season. With the way Becks was treated after the World Cup. With the way things had fallen apart in 1998. The way the Arsenal rivalry was just starting to really boil. The tough Champions League group and fixtures. It felt like the difficulty level on everything was well up.
And we go to Liverpool feeling like we need to win to keep pushing for the Treble. A Treble many of us didn't really think was possible at the start of the year, nevermind after Arsenal whipped is in the Charity Shield at the start of the season...
...and there's Ince. Man Utd's midfield dynamo. Lover of a bicycle kick. Hero of many a backs to the wall situation. For club and country. Scoring a goal that looks like it's f'd it for us and going beserk with the Scousers.
Never looked at him the same after that. Childish I know. Just 1999 was such a defining year and he tried to wreck it and revelled in it. Yeah he was doing his job but it was in their colours at their place. Just all wrong.

A truly phenomenal player for us. Deservedly one of the very key players in the team that finally won the league in 93 and the best player in 94. We’ve had a couple of bystanders who have been credited by the teams success but Ince was a beast of a player.
What's wrong with his eyes lately? He got normal eyes when he was young I think.
I was trying to figure who that was!!Wtf is that Choccy McClair bottom left??
On his day he was almost as good as Nicky Butt
Mick Phelan at the back still looking like he doesn't know what to do
Find him a balloon, quickly..
Choccy was the first United player that I ever got an autograph from. I was so nervous that I ended up stuttering like a feckwit, coupled with my "local" Fife accent which is only coherent to other locals and select pond life. He just laughed and said "don't know what you're saying kid, but you're alright".
Seems like a top bloke as far as I'm concerned.
Paul Ince was one of my favourite players as a kid. As a 15:year old, it was confusing seeing him play for Liverpool and celebrating the way he did. But I've made peace with that. Not too surprising he reacted the way he did considering how he left West Ham for us.
That's a tough watch. Wonder what would have happened had he stayed.
Same here. Got it on a United caps. Remember how nice he was.
Time heals. Also he and Fergie are great pals now.
And yeah Keane and Ince was so OP as the kids would say today
Absolutely it was just something else.
I think Ince used to be very insecure..
When Fergie disrespected him in that documentary in front of a national TV audience that hurt him a lot...and our fans ran with it with the "charlie charlie wots the score" etc. That wound him up no end in those three games against Liverpool during the 1998/99 season
It was a bit of tit for tat, Ince went in hard on some of our players and when he celebrated the way he did at Anfield that hurt quite a few of our fans, that image stuck and still sticks for a few.
For me that's all water under the bridge. I remember the things he did at United,
He was one of my favourite players in the early 90s. He developed into a proper world class midfielder during his time at United. Part of Fergie's first great team.
Was gutted he was sold off to Inter in '95
Must have been though to deal with. Most people would feel some sort of animosity towards the club.
Yeah agree.
What kind of reception did he get last night? Anyone know?
Fans cheered and gave him a good reception as he walked the touchline to the dugout and he in turn waved to them.
Was nice to see.
Oh brilliant. Any vids? Enjoy seeing that
Exotropia
To think he was thinking a 4 year contract was on the cards, kid and family settled, and the boom, we accepted an offer from Inter, "you off to Italy.".
