[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 93935, member: 175166"] @blackninja Thanks for the compliment. But like I said earlier, I'm an old fart who can remember standing on the terraces BEFORE the Munich disaster and before United became a media circus. And I can remember the fans of United and their opponents standing in the same enclosure. We were all sensible back then because it was, after all, only a game of football when there was a cap on players' wages. My loyalties were formed in those idyllic days before the end of the sixties. I remember meeting one of the victorious 1968 European Cup team at several of my mate's parties - and we were nowt but ordinary working class lads. I can't imagine anything like that happening today if for no other reason that a United player's Bentley wouldn't fit on the drive of a suburban semi. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. [/QUOTE]
