I always liked Butt when he was here.......
Nicky Butt "United will always have a massive place in my heart"
- Thread starter Eyepopper
- Start date
Under-rated player. Could have played more for England i reckon.
Pele is that you
Good lad was Nicky, wonder will he join ipswich after all. Havent seen anyone linked with him in a while.
Hard to not like a player like Nicky Butt.
He's unlucky he didn't do better with us, i.e. play even more regularly and be regarded as a star. Sadly, his career collided with the two best central midfielders this club has ever seen.
1995/6 and 1997/8 in particular were fantastic seasons for him. During the former, he was being compared to Bryan Robson and the comparisons were genuinely evident, I thought.

Yep, worked his arse off and never complained. Sold for only 2 million as well a real bargain.
Also very good in the air, but did have a tendency to get sent off.
Gotta love Nicky. Wish him and Beck had stayed at United - Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Butt, Beckham. How wonderful would that have been?
Thats a contentious comment about the two best ever midfielders.
Whilst I wont dispute your claim about Scholes Im afraid I would have to disagree with you if you think Keane was better than Robson. Quite simply Robson was a far better all round footballer
IMO
It would have been excellent. Just not at the same time though or we would have the oldest team in the league.
I recall Fergie saying that one of the reasons he was able to sell Ince was that he thought Butt was a better long term option.
loyal Red servant... along with Phil Neville.

Have we replaced Ole yet?
Baby-faced Mexassin. Oh you meant as reserves coach.
I thought he was going to Hong Kong to play for a team there
I had a dream Roy Keane was our new reserve team coach.
That is all.
That is all.
I'm not sure if he wants to become a reserve team coach. It's obviously a downgrade, even from a championship manager.
What, so you're saying that his dream might not come true?
Depends on the percentages of his other dreams turning into reality.
Cleaning the toilets at OT is more of an honor than managing Ipswich to be fair...
Yes of course it is, you wonder why fans of other teams call United fans arrogant.
Grandson of Isaac Butt, see you learn something new everyday!
That rules, homes
Killin the word play Deco!
But no relation to Salman Butt I take it?
Update on post 11 about Nicky.
Not arrogant, just better.
Karl Pilkington style
Ludicrous statement. Absolutely ludicrous.
your right..making the tea would be be about right
Always impresses me that most of the players who leave here talk well about the club and Ferguson. Even if they have left in acrimonious circumstances.
Not always the case with a lot of other big clubs around Europe.

If you're a Norwich fan it's not.
