Love how the reactions changed over time.. They were happy when Steve Mcclaren was wishing him.. it went up a level when first team players showed up.. and then Fergie came on..

When I saw thread title I assumed they were making an underwhelming sequel to looking for Eric, lovely vid.

 

[Guapa]

Brilliant.

 

[Acquire Me]

Beautiful

 

[Gordon S]

Brought a tear to my eye. Brilliant.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

That's very sweet. Happy birthday, Pete!

 

[Red Royal]

This is what supporting a club is really all about. Love this!

 

[noodlehair]

Love things like this! Such a simple little act but makes such a big difference to someone.

Although I was expecting a surprising Pete. As in like a Pete with 3 arms, or it turns out they're actually called Simon.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Brilliant.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Brilliant.

 

[McGrathsipan]

I'm not crying

 

[red woppit]

Emotional!!!

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

That’s what it’s all about really.

 

[spwd]

Do you think this is in the correct place and should I change the title? If I can?
I think more people would like to see it if they knew about it.

 

[Mylock]

Very well done, People like Pete are what's great about our club, a fan all his life and loves the club unconditional inspites of who may own it.

 

[Marcus]

Wow. Lovely vibes all round. All the best to Pete and may the club do him proud.

Absolutely wonderful. The look on his face when Sir Alex’s message plays is priceless.

Fantastic, I teared up.

Surely that Maguire message was meant for an opposition fan. I joke, it was a beautiful message from everyone.

No it was aimed squarely at CAF Newbies
