here's an article i've got from 'the terrace':
===========
I don't mind admitting that when he was at Old Trafford, Ince was one of my favourite players. So much so, that in the days when I used to buy the shirt, I had 'INCE 8' plastered on the back of my 1992/93 inaugural Premier League Champions shirt.
When he left for Inter Milan, I was absolutely gutted. I remember my mate showing me a copy of the Manchester Evening News that day, with the headline 'INCE SOLD' plastered on the back. It made for unpleasant reading, and like I say, I was absolutely gutted – yet over the course of time, I understood and now agree that he had to go.
Even so, when he was at Italy, I still kept my eye out for how he was doing. I even felt quite proud when it became apparent that he was doing well. I would eagerly wait for Football Italia to come on so I could hear his latest thoughts on life in Italy, and I used to love it on the odd occasions when he was a Sky Sports pundit and he referred to United as 'us'.
Then he signed for Liverpool.
There were a host of teams interested in him when he announced his intention to return to England, including the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. But despite this, and despite his connections with United, he chose Liverpool. And when he did that, I could no longer look at him in the same light.
Now Ince has bemoaned the fact that the majority of United fans still can't forgive him for signing for the one team in the country we felt he shouldn't have signed for. He is also misguided when he says, as he has done today, that it is because Sir Alex called him a 'big time Charlie' why he gets stick from us.
The only reason he gets stick, and will not earn a place in our all-time list of popular players, is because he signed for Liverpool. This is not being petty, it's just the way it is. Even Liverpool fans that I know and respect tell me that they could never properly take to him because of his United connections, and to me that is fair enough.
So Ince wants Liverpool to win the title – are we supposed to be bothered? The day when he signed for them was the day when we stopped being bothered about what Paul Ince says and does – it is a shame, but it was his decision.
=====================================
i used to be his fan too, i've got his name printed on the back of my UTD shirt, i still have it when he left for Inter, but then when he signed for liverpool, i peeled off his name from the shirt(off course i didn't have the heart to scrapted my precious shirt wouldn't i?) <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />
