Lee Sharpe has joined the green and gold campaign to be part of fans’ bid to to get rid of the Glazers. Unlike David Beckham, who denied all understanding of what the colours represented after wearing the scarf after our Champions League game against AC Milan last season, Sharpe is happy to put his name behind the campaign.
“I am absolutely delighted to lend my support to such a worthwhile cause – I am committed to wanting to see every MUST Green and Gold shirt sold, and I will personally be handing the £25,000 cheque over to The Prostate Cancer Charity,” he said. “I can’t believe the quality of the shirts, they’re much better than the ones I used to wear. I’d urge all Manchester United fans to support this superb project and I look forward to presenting the charity with their cheque at some point in the near future.”
All profits go to The Prostate Cancer Charity.

Legend.
of the G&G movement.
Great to see him rise above the publicity stunts that Beckham always indulges in.There are very few players who would do this.Well Done Sharpey.
Becks knew what it meant.. lets not be silly.
More players (former or current) to get involve with this movement.
Pictures tell a thousand words… depends on how you look at it. STR would you want Becks to wear the scarf and deny it’s meaning and know it’s being broadcasted to millions of viewers? Or have far fewer see and hear Lee Sharpe talk about the movement?
Becks did his bit in his own way without ruffling too many feathers and it got broadcasted to millions… everyone knows he was aware of what he was doing despite him denying it. Either way, both are great publicity. JMHO.
Round 3!
Of Course.. He has his name in big on the front, more or less
LEGEND – wait for it… keep waiting for it coz he’s always going to be – ary!!
Legendary!
Lee must be the sharp end of the stick.
ding ding round 3.
come on oil Sheiks make’m an offer they can’t refuse. The other Sheiks have one. nana,na,nana
Glazzers marketing plan has done the club well, now you guy’s make a few hundred million and sell the fucking club before the new fair play rules kick in and restore them to the most profitable club in world sport.
I have only followed the BEPL for 7 yaers can you lads fill me in on him and maybe supply a link or 2 for me thanks.
GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!!!!!!!!!
Wow I Goggled him a sweat winger what a goal celebration.
Fergie thought he was a big headed cunt….so he sold him….yet again SAF getting it spot on ….Sharpe thought he was better than he was, acted the big I am … turned out he wasn’t that good didn’t it….
Dance dance wherever he may be, we signed a young kid from Torquay! he soon settled in, he soon made his mark, he is the boy that we call Lee Sharpe. what a tune!!
LUHG!
Disgraceful.
Talk about When the horse has Bolted. Thought the Anti Glazer G&G Campain had died a death, although the Street Mercinaries are still selling Hats and Scarves to the Odd Chinese Tourist. Haven’t heared any chants at games for a While now.
LEGEND. Shame he got injured often towards the end.
Take it he’s gave up hope of getting any hospitality work for the club then.
Lee Sharpe – Proper United material.
Sir Ryan Giggs says:
LEGEND. Shame he got injured often towards the end.
You have gotta be fucking joking…….
If It’s a draw tomorrow, the replay will be on a Friday.
Why wouldn’t he. It’s got his name on it.
well, to be fair, he doesn’t mention the glazers or the ownership situation at all
I think he is supporting a Prostate Cancer Charity…. Hmm.
Come on TonyBee! Sharpe was a CLASS player. One of the first of the modern day footballing celebrities if you will. Sharpe’s problem was he loved the nightlife and the glamour that came with the package. We all know Fergie hated this and tried to tame him to no avail. If you were lucky enough to have been watching United when he broke through in the early 90′s, which I was, then you’d know he was a great player, although he lost a few yards when he was hampered by injuries, which in turn, led to Giggs pushing through to the first team and claiming the left wing as his own.
It’s fair to say that Sharpe did waste his talent though, but I will always love him for his style of play, what he brought to the United team when we were hunting down our first league trophy for many years, and of course his flamboyant celebrations! Give his biography a read if you can get hold of it.
Sharpe was one of the first United players I liked a lot. Sadly, by the time I started following United, he was already losing his spot to Giggs. Fortunately, Giggsy didn’t take over his partying habits.
Anyone remember when he scored a hat trick in a 6-2 win at Highbury?
There’s no activity on ROM tonight. Unusual for the night before a game.
Bonus for those who can’t spare scrolling time.
Didn’t see you there Costas! I returned expecting a lot of catch up, but not at all. I think I’ll keep writing on to the next line, there we go.
“This was the night on which Ferguson finally located United’s G-spot, when he swapped Sextonian football with sexy football to quite devastating effect. Arsenal were an outrageously good side, who would lose only once in winning the league and concede only 18 goals in 38 league games, but Ferguson dropped his captain Neil Webb, went with a 4-2-4 formation and watched United tear Arsenal asunder on the counter-attack.
Lee Sharpe, 19, grabbed the glory with a marvellously accomplished hat-trick – strangely, none of them came with his left foot – but the real facilitator was Danny Wallace. Asked to play centre-forward in what is probably the biggest tactical masterstroke of Ferguson’s career, he was as elusive as an urchin pickpocket and gave Tony Adams and Steve Bould an almighty chasing. Wallace made four, scored one and – truthfully – played like Romario. For him, alas, it was a false dawn. For United and Ferguson, it was the start of a decade of the richest entertainment.”

Always loved Sharpey, sad it didn’t end well. I remember him giving a terrific performance as a left back at West Ham in a 3-1 away win in 1989 – the first at Upton Park in centuries. At his peak around 1991 as a left winger he was as good as any I can recall.
Love it that he’s supporting the Green & Gold campaign n and that the money’s going to the Prostate Cancer charity, a cause close to my heart, or maybe lower down…
Give us a Shuffle Sharpey!!
Sharpe does well over here in Asia when he sits in as a pundit and does interviews.

Dear Wes Brown,
Love and respect for u and yr family. Heard u had some personal difficulties ,hope its sorted out.
Fans love u cos u do not whine,complain or have any drama. Loyal Manchester born lad playing for yr club.Many forget u were part of the 1999 squad. Yr superb performances 2008 including that brilliant goal against liverpool ,helped Manutd win the double. The manner u and Scholes down the right hand side then the cross for ronaldo to score in the CL final ,just brilliant.
We hear something happened during the USA tour with Fergie. For some reason even when ur fit ur on the bench,why? when u came on against liverpool u were rusty and did not command that backline.
I worry about yr future at our club,that performance looked like a nail on yr career. This from a man who stopped arjen robben and joe cole in thier prime,they got so frustrated they kicked u, cos u gave them no quarter.
This season Fergie is going to decide on a lot of careers, we see the shape of the team for the future taking place. I hope ur in it,u need to take any oppurtunitys that come along now and prove u got a future at Manutd.
Unless the drive and passion is not as strong anymore.
Good luck ,God Bless,hope u retire at Manutd on a high,in 4 years at least.
At arsenal 2:6 United, ‘Brian McClair, urging them forward still, and he’s got plenty of choices’
@smartalex
I pop up here every now and then. Honestly, the blog doesn’t get moving at night if Cedars and willie are missing.
Thanks for the link. Good times hey? I love that line. Sir Alex found United’s G spot. Unfortunately, Torres still can’t find his…
Lee Sharp … eh? Just can’t wait to hear his financial restructuruing plan!!
Well today we find out if Fergie’s circle the wagons and seige mentality works.
If Manutd come out fighting and do what they have been threatening to do ,that is to bulldoze some one,done against birmingham ,blackburn , well lets do it today.
Hope Javier’Chicarito’ Hernandez starts and scores a hattrick today.
The closest Torres ever came to finding any G spot, is when he squeezed Gerard’s zits in the shower.
A great letter to Wes, I hope you don’t mind I read it, Dave Malaysia. Let’s hope that he plays a part for several years to come.
Read on smartalex, what do u think about todays battle?
Maybe John Terry can help Torres find it.
I’m here Costas! I never left!
@Costas: R u implying that they stay back after training and explore and sniff each others arses?
seems pretty irrelevant to me hardly call it a coup,will make no difference to the green and gold movement one way or the other,jump the shark comes to mind to be honest.good that charity benifits by it though.
Lol, why didn’t I contemplate Megan Fox? Maybe she would have showed up like willie just did.
@Dave Malaysia
Who knows mate?
If Torres was really troubled about finding his G, we know that Terry will always help out a lady..
Dave, I am excited and expectant, concerned but confident. An FA cup tie, with all that comes with it, and so much more. Arsenal are 2nd in FA Cups and in the league, and both teams need to bounce back from bad results. Come on United!
I don’t know how you did it, but Megan just arrived here! Tomorrow, I ….
@smartalex , I hope we start right and maintain a high tempo and Gods sake have a fair referee.
@Costas: Maybe ashley can bring the torchlight and air refreshner.
Dave Malaysia.Must be at it,both of them .No wonder ladyboy found the allure of the rentboys hard to turn down.Captain courageous must have been pretty tempting.
Chris Foy is going to be the referee.
@RedBlood: Me thinks torres said to terry:: yo amigo,u no touche my gf ok,butt er u can touch me,anytime amigo, just make sure u no try sell my arse, u scheming troll!
really guys i’m even finding this gross
Whats Chris Foys record like for us,does anyone know where to check ?
Still no team sheet? Fuck. it’s taking forever.
smartalex,what if hargreaves palys today?
For a few quid, tiny tears will give torres a guided tour of all the G-spots at chelsea fc.
Manchester United is red
That’s all I know and believe in
As for Lee Sharpe – he had so much potential it was scary and then he scared himself and well that was the end of that
Legend? No chance…
Still United though after going around the merry go around
@MG: Choices right? the choices he made as compared to Giggs.
If Hargreaves plays today, and plays well, the odds on United winning the 19th will be slashed. There could be no better return than Owen Hargreaves, surely.
Choices it is Dave Malaysia
You are either humble enough to make the right ones or foolish enough to make the wrong ones…
Lee Sharpe easily fits in the latter much like most United players who think dreams can be accomplished somewhere else
Left because of his England place
That didn’t go well then did it?
United>England
Well, if we’re playing silly buggers, I hope Keano can make it tomorrow.
this move could be more about trying to make himself relevant than it is to do with the green and gold.
I for one am praying for the Manchester United spirit to be awaken today.
High tempo ,hard battling,no quarter given,and slick moves and an incredible scoreline for a brilliant win By Manchester United.
All season we have grinded out results,today go forth Rooney ,Javier ,Fletcher,Vidic AND THE TEAM , win this battle.
Is there a goon bashing thread? No visitors from the yellow bellies?
Fear has frozen their ‘submit my comment’ buttons.
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you’ll never hear their voices
And you’ll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
6.50 am,me go sleep ,dream of good tidings for Manchester United.
Absolutely loved Sharpey, one of my all time favourites, and it pains me to be the cynic but is it just me who thinks some of this is about boosting his profile? Seems a top bloke but donning the scummy white kit then all the reality bollocks means sadly i find it hard to view him in the same light
He doesn’t even mention the green and gold does he? Its about the cancer charity. Although he played for leedscum and did all that abi titmuss love island shite I like lee sharpe. Always loved him as a player. Sounds fruity but he always had decent hairdos or so it seemed back then. Lads liked him and ladies fancied him. Anyway enough of that shit. He was a top player and had decent games as a left back but as a winger he was sound. Pacey. Trickery and chipped in with a few goals. Remember his double against everton and the elvis celebration with the corner flag. Always seemed to score against everton. His hat trick against the gooners in the blue kit. Just a shame he liked the nightlife too much but he catergorically denies he ever took drugs. A rumour which was rife.
My mistake. He does mention the g and g but I still think its more to do with him and the charity. Fair play to him.
did he do the shuffle with it on?
Alongside Ole my favourite United player ever, always played the game with a smile on his face, he looked liked he was enjoying what he was doing. The first hero I had as a United Fan
God I love Sharpey, one of the best personalities we’ve ever had at this club.
If he’d have spent most of his time at any other club then he would have been remembered as one of the best wingers this country has seen.
But alas we have a horrible habit of seeing great players overshadowed by even greater players and therefore not getting the credit they deserve.

fucking classic….you are a one liner king Smart alex…….
Great bloke!
Thanks TonyBee! Of course, any reference to torres is good for a laugh!
yer gonna cry like nani the fanny.green and gold you sad sad people .get a life .go and support your local football clubs.plastic retards.
with utd being a global entity the green and gold will never rate in regards to putting a dent in the the bottomline financially the impact is miniscule.having lee sharpe as a spokesman is truly jumping the shark
Dunno why I bother posting here. Too cliquey and because of that, no one joins in any discussions with anyone else other than the regulars. It’s a bit too middle school playground for my liking. Time to move on I think
Good to see Lee Sharpe back with a United shirt and a smile on his face.
Quality Player.
