I watched it in Best’s Bar in Los Angeles, got offered a job out in Palm Springs LA and couldnt knock it back, there was a few Reds in but i watched it with a German guy who supported Munich 1860, i went mental when Ole’s goal went in but believe me, this German lad was just as happy as i was, made it to Moscow though..

@stenhousmuir red, you wiped the stains off your Robbo picture in your living room yet?.. lol

On a stool in front of the fireplace at my Mum’s because I couldn’t sit still. I just remember shouting in disbelief when Ole won it. Still never seen anything like it, and it topped the way Jordan had carried the Bulls the year before (anyone else used to watch the NBA Finals in the middle of the night…on C4, was it?)

I was 11 years old, in Delhi, and the bloody cable operator lost his signal after 85 minutes had been completed…
I remember crying as I went to bed, sleepy as fuck because it was the first time I’d stayed up till 3 or 4 AM..
The next morning I wake and I put on the sports channels…and it said everywhere “congratulations manchester united for winning the treble”…
one of the biggest regrets of my life…If I met that cable guy now I’d kick his ass

was 9 years old and was allowed to stay up that night just to watch the final. the best night of my life before that night was watching utd playing inter away, went fucking crazy. i wasnt a utd die hard at that age because i was only young and watching the final cemented the club deep into my heart.

step dad was a united fan and we both went absolutely nuts when teddy’s went in, only just sat back down in time to see ole’s go in and then even my mum joined in the celebrations and she hates football lol.the new best night of my life.

Shows you the power of sport and this great club.

i was nine years old, at the time i was in nirvana and i remeber the enxt day we had a school trip and me and my mates sang glory glory man united on th coach on the way and our teacher Mrs Eddington bought us man united scarves at JD before we left cos she was an united fan too. Good times, Im sure when i get older the day we won in the nou camp will probablly be my earliest memory when Im old.

i was 16 back then. and i couldn’t name myself the united fan because i neither had nor the internet nor the possibility to watch even 90% of the United games. that’s why i am just reading your wonderful stories and regret i haven’t been that lucky as someone of you.
Love you, ManUnited.

Chernor, your story and passion for the game is tops. United is lucky to have you as a fan. None of our stories, even though Sten’s is really funny, can top yours for sheer determination. Hope your ability to watch last season’s final was under better conditions and this year will be even better!
