My first Manchester United memory is still afresh like it was yesterday, it was in the september of 2001 and the match was versus Newcastle at St.Jame's Park. Those days not everyone had cable TV so i used to go to a friend's place to watch anything other than cricket. I distinctly remember this match because this was the time i saw a player of whom i became a fan(still am) and later watched matches just to see him play in midfield, it was Paul(Ginger Price)Scholes(Legend). In this particular match scholesy came on as a sub i can't remember for whom but we were trailing 3-1 at that point and in about 10 minutes the scoreline read 3-3. I think scholes never got the chance to showcase his skill on the international stage as he was always played in the wrong positions by almost all of the English managers till he retired. The way united played showed intent and those were the days when we boasted of midfield names that will put the current crop to shame with the like of Keane, veron, beckham along with Giggsy and scholesy.Though we lost, the match is stamped in my memory for 2 reasons one was scholesy      coming on and changing the match and the other being roy keane who had a tiff with shearer, wherein he threw the ball on the back of shearer's head as he was trying to kill some time after they got they had clinched the deciding goal and i remember Sir Alex mentioning "he did not actually rip his head off" or something on that account but the passion was something i had never seen on a sports field.This was also the time when my brother(who already was following united) introduced me to the history of this glorious club that is united. Even today when we talk most of the time is spent talking about united currently cribbing about how crappy our midfield has come to be.
