I love the Bestie "Where did it all wrong story"

but...

I was reminded of the Brucey tale when we won the Prem for the first time...

When Villa handed us the title everyone headed for Bruce's house. Nothing planned, it just kinda happened. They ended up drinkin until 4am despite having to play Blackburn the next day! Bruce woke at 7am and could hear the clinkin of classes downstairs, and he thought "no surely!". He went down to find Robo clearing up and washing all the dishes - the captain of England, who'd just won the league - doin the dishes <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

They were still pissed when they went 1-0 down. Fergy fired em up at half time and we won 3-1 of course. Great story.


What's your fav story ??
 
Well one night on 26th may 1999 United were down 1-0 in a very important game indded after a fluke 6th minute free kick from this German fellow called Mario. Anyway two very skillfully worked goals meant United won in the last possible moment.And they all lived happily ever after..except for a man called Jaap who left in controvesy and got done for drugs!

The End

well that very same night a few moment prior to the final whistle, the UEFA chair left his seat and took the lift down to the trophies podium intending to congratulate and give the silverware to the German. Lo and behold, the German look quite so ready to say the least whereas the red devils look jubilant! Ah, what have he missed when he was on that aweful lift journey?? Well, two brilliant goals that's all, not particularly unusual for Mancester United really!

Following on from that, in the season the only player not to have scored a goal was Gary Pallister. Free kick late on, he steps up and drills it in the bottom corner. Class.

or howabout... when 1 nil down in 1999 George Best thinks it would be wise to leave before the final whistle since he doesn't want to get hassled by fans wanting his autograph since hes gutted that United have lost. So with 5 minutes to go he walks out of the Nou Camp.
Trying to find his hotel he stumbles across a pub with United fans celebrating.
"What you guys looking so happy about he asks?"...

Ok hes a legend...but not the brightest...
 
I love the story about the Dutch famous striker who will be returning to his favourite club in a few years <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

a question for you, do you follow Ruud from his old club to United? Now, a word of advice, become a red! IT will be many many years before Ruud is going anywhere!

To be honest, I try to see as much as possibly. There is a Dutch channel which broadcasts most of the matches live. But I'm planning to visit MU this spring.
I know it will take a while till Ruud returns, but I'm sure he will.

You've distorted the truth here a little, but the main point i.e. he left before the end is true.

Favourite United story is of a team dragging itself from the wreck of an airplane at Munich to being the worlds greatest footie team. Sure there are loads of twists and sub-plots along the way, a few highs and lows, some great characters, a few heroes and a few villains but what a story.
 
My fave is after the game in which Ian Wright lunged 2 footed at big Pete after allegedly making racist comments to put him off.

Apparently in the dressing room afterwards, Paul Ince, who's Wrights cousin or something, said that he could understand why Wright did it. Which pissed off a certain irish United captain who pinned him up against the wall and said "Which F**kin team are you playing for??"

hehe

Guvnor? My Arse.
 
wow! never heard that one before. Top man Roy.

Good post.

I heard one from a Copper I used to play footy with. A few years back he got called out to Keano house to investigate a disturbance. It was a Friday night before a big game BTW. When he got there Keano was up his own tree, having had one one too many, singing "KEEEEEEANO" at the top of his voice. The police helped him down and asked him to keep it down a bit

:D
 
Fave Story let's see....

I'm too sure whos party it was but i think it was Lee Sharpes, and it was when Giggsy and Scholesy and co. were so very young. SAF got drift of this and went round to the house, and made everyone get out, and stood in the doorway and when they walked past he would give them a thick ear.

I like one from Bobby Charlton about the level of dedication amongst supporters. This concerns fans outside Manchester and pre Munich so there goes the myth about only attracting outsiders after the crash.

Apparently Bobby turned up at Old Trafford for pre season training. He saw a coach and fans walking around. He wasn't aware of anything happening, so he went to one of the fans and asked why they were there. The fan said that they were bored during the summer so hired a coach to go and see the new floodlights that had just been completed.
