My Best Ever Man. Utd. 11
This month I celebrated 12 years of being a Manchester United Football Club fan, or else, a loyal supporter. Throughout my lifetime I’ve seen so many success on and off the field with my own eyes, ups and downs, and the the most recent hostile takeover of the club my American Malcom Glazer family, even if it is from tv or the internet.
the most important thing that happened to me as a result of being a Man
United fan is, it gives me the inspiration to play ‘the most beautiful
game’, the football. Being a rather late starter in football (I started
learning to kick a ball properly in form 1), the impression that comes from watching a particular Man. United game really draws me into playing this sport, most precisely, play this sport beautifully. Watching the breathtaking pace of Kanchelskies and C. Ronaldo, the silky skills of Ryan ‘Giggsy’ Giggs, and the total domination in the middle-of-the-park of Paul ‘Guv’nor’ Ince and Roy Keane week-in week-out, really gives you the much needed boost in life. And not forget the commanding Gary Pallister, Beckham and the one and only Great Dane, the BIG Peter Schmeichel… "WHAT? Are you f*****g crazy by not including ‘him’ as one of United’s greats?" asks one. Well John, I know ERIC IS KING…. Enough said.
In
my 12 years of great ‘association’ with the club, here is my best ever
starting 11 (and a couple of subs) to have ever played or still playing
for them that I’ve been lucky enough to witness with my own eyes in my lifetime (not like digging old facts before you were even born and yelling it to others without knowing what the heck it actually is, and claims that you’re ‘part’ of it)….
Right Back: Gary Neville
Left Back: Dennis Irwin
Center Back: Steve Bruce
Center Back: Rio Ferdinand
Right Midfield: David Beckham
Left Midfield: Ryan Giggs
Center Midfield: Roy Keane
Center Midfield: Paul Scholes
Forward: Eric Cantona
Forward: Ruud Van Nistelrooy
the subs to complete the 16 match-squad:
Gary Pallister
Paul Ince
Andrei Kanchelskis
Mark Hughes
Andy Cole
likes of Wayne Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidic are
certainly the new generation of great players to ever grace the United
shirt, but they still has to do it consistently for another 3-5 years
before they can make into the list.
What are your views on this list? Please leave down any suggestion or even list down your own best ever UNITED 11 here…
