Awesome United pics

I miss the days when Keane was always the first to celebrate a goal. Love the pic a few pages back with Cantona. We were so spoilt back then.
A nice quiet local before or after a game. Taken before the game against Galatasaray in 2012.

Hey it's me

And a selfie. Retired battle scarves from earlier campaigns. Left to right - 1974-75 satin still bearing wrist marks, with the 'Doc's Bionic Babes' motif, the 1977 FA Cup final scarf still beer and chips stained, and the start of the 1978-79 season with its genuine acrylic label retaining its unique softness.
Wonderful.

Some of us will never forget the king. Long live Eric!! Er... Can we 'ave some chips now?
Philosophically speaking, LVG take heed ............
The Groaners three years away on the bounce. Recall the players and changes but how about the music schedule on the bottom of the events page. All very entertaining but imagine brass bands in the age of Woodstock and pundits wondered why the fans started chanting.
Sorry, I misread your question. I was in the Stretford End Paddock that night with my dad and remember going mad when Brian Kidd scored at the death. Nobody realised that the final whistle had gone the second before Kiddo scored. Lots of dark murmurings about bent refs after that game but nothing compared to what was said after the Milan game.
"And Smith must score..." But not past one of my all-time favourite United players- Gary Bailey.
I really like brass bands. As a nipper, I remember the Sally Ann used to form up at the end of the road on a Sunday morning and play hymns. My mother used to send me out to put a bob in the collection box.

Ian Ure. Arsenal one game, United the next. Do you remember when he and Denis Law were sent off at Old Trafford for fighting?
What is it with United players and shotguns? Found this from 1974. Docherty is keeping well clear this time.
Here's old big nose hoping some of the stardust might rub off on him. It never did.
You mentioned having a look around. I went through some old boxes and found a precious few items, like the scarves and programmes. But, I can confirm there is little else.
There were allotments over by Crumpsall and Woodlands Road. Every year they held a brass band for prize giving and my Grandma used to go. There was also the festivals in Heaton Park, which could be fun with the fair. The Salvation Army often did a brass gig in Picadilly Gardens in the bandstand you might recall.
Yes the tiff between Law and Ure caused a stir and lengthy bans. It was the time when poor old Sir Matt seemed to be constantly up before the FA in London because of Best, Stilles, Crerand etc. What got me was why Wilf bought him, he never seemed to be a United player, probably why he only stayed a couple of seasons.
Best, Summerbee, Law and others often went clubbing. Back in the late 60s there was quite a nightclub scene long before the Hacienda and the 1990s Manchester. I remember going to one place with a relative, called Barbarella's. I had to rehearse a false birthday date to fool the bouncers. Named after the Fonda film. The players were there and were quite approachable if you remained respectful. The only pratt was Mike Doyle but then he was the original bitter Bitter.
From today
Which rivalries were the fiercest in the 60,70 and 80s.
Leeds?
I reckon Liverpool rivalry wasnt so big back then?

While we're at it.
Scouses. Always has been the Scouses since the 60s and will forever be the Scouses. Leeds were just a passing phase and are now gone for a very long time.
I always hated Shitty with a horrible hate, their recent jackpot prize didn't change any of my feelings towards them.
Infamous gray kit Ferguson made them change at halftime after being schlumped by Southampton. I believe it was the last time they wore it.
More De Gea
This definitely has some Photoshop potential, considering de Gea's metal interest!
I hope our Dave will stay.

I always felt any City games in that era were a real derby. No so much now. Sure we want to turn them over, but I think the fact their team doesn't have an inferiority complex anymore the games don't have the same passion on the park as say a North London derby OR Scouse derby.
Off and On the park, I think Liverpool has got to be the main rivalry. Particularly when it is more than just a 3 pointer. Those who went to the '99 home game in the FA Cup will understand. It was nasty from Friday evening to well into Saturday evening. I am sure it is going to be one hell of an atmosphere at Anfield for our next meeting.
What was happening, clashes or something?
Always a bit of the old ultra-violence against Leeds. This is the match, according to Fergie, that started it all; the 1965 FA Cup semi-final. First game at Hillsborough ended 0-0 with Leeds winning the replay at the City Ground 1-0 with an 89th minute goal from Bremner.
