I'll have to think some more about great partnerships. Cole & Yorke were fantastic, for sure. I didn't know that Cantwell quote Boogeyman, but it doesn't surprise me. I remember going up to Cantwell just as he was about to get on the team coach after a 1-1 draw against WBA at the Hawthorns in April 1961. 'Excuse me Mr Cantwell', I said in my best schoolboy polite manner, 'Could I have your autograph please?' 'Fuck off,' he said climbing up the steps into the coach, 'I'm not signing'. That was the first time an adult had ever sworn at me. I quite enjoyed the game at Wembley. I can honestly say I couldn't see the Rooney penalty incident. None of us could see why a pen was given but we were quite a distance away, and my eye didn't help (even my 3rd one). Having seen the replays I don't think it was a pen, but that doesn't make it a dive. On the topic of this thread, I don't recall Yorkie diving particularly. He always struck me as a fair and sporting character, no cheating or bad fouling. Great player for those 3 vital years. Thanks Cantona7. I’ll have to think some more about great partnerships.

A pity it ended the way it did for him at OT tho. My player of the year that season without a doubt!!! How Ginola got the award that year was beyond me....

PS:Giles,He was the captain at the time as well,wasn't he?And I think I read in Jim White's book(actually,I was re-reading the book recently :) ) that what he said was(From the book): "Give it to a red shirt?"Cantwell raged."You don't need a fucking manager for that." In my opinion,that is the most important thing to do as a United player. :) Enjoy the match,Giles. Dirty bitter bastards.

Not all players shine for 10 years, some do it for a much shorter period of time and his period resulted in the treble. Yorke = legend. Good luck in the future. p.s Jordan?!? what were you thinking when you shacked up with that trollop lol. i think he’s a United legend.
