Me and Dad have only just got over the events of 21st May 2008, talk about squeeky bum time!!!My Dad went to watch the game in Manchester City Centre, but to my surprise he was home with 3 mins of extra time gone. He said he couldn't handle being out and the way the game was going he would have had to start drinking very heavily to get him through it, so he had driven home when the full-time whistle had blown in order to focus fully on the match!!!
He now claims that if he hadn't have come home then United wouldn't have been holding the trophy with the big ears and would have all ended in tears of sorrow!!!
Should have worn the correct studs John...ooops!!!Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke!
Edwin wins the cup for the boys and millions of grown men around the world fall to their knees and break into tears...well thats what happened to my Dad!!!
Today at Old Trafford a tribute to the 'Holy Trinity' of United's greatest players Best, Law and Charlton was unveiled, 40 years to the day when United became the 1st English team to win the European Cup (1968).Combined with the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster (1958) it makes this years win all the more special.
