The Greatest Club
Manchester United has more tradition than any other clubAny where in the world. As well as one of the biggest it is also
Among the richest. I was privelleged to see them twice last
Season.
There is a fabulous history and tradition attached to the club.
Munich (1958 plane crash) is a huge part of that. Our players
Were returning having won a European Cup Quarter Final but
Several died tragically.
Before that our stadium (Old Trafford) was bombed by the Germans
During World War 2. We had to share Maine Road with Manchester
City for several seasons while our Theatre of Dreams was restored
To the marvel it is today.
Prior to this we (along with other clubs) lost players and supporters who
Left to fight for their country in WW1 and WW2.
Sandy Turnbull to name just one.
This club is steeped in tradition.

Hi Titania
You both have great memories of some of the best
Years and greatest players who ever donned the famous
Red & white jersey.(The black was only introduced to the
Club colours post (Munich)1958.
The year Vartryman started supporting us ,1977 , we halted
Liverpool from the treble that we were the first team to win 22
Years later. We beat them 2-1 in '77. Case put them ahead but
Pancho Pearson equalised. The winner is often attributed to
Jimmy Greenhoff or Lou Macari. No real difference. A goal is a
Goal. On You Reds
