I would’ve liked to see United’s hardest working asset from the last 2 or three seasons get in the calendar; the treatment room scanner. How many times did we hear Hecky say “Listen, (insert player name) took a knock/felt something/twisted something. He’s going to have a scan and we will take it from there”. If we bought the thing outright, it’s paid for itself. If it is being leased, I wish I had shares in that company!

Thanks, Ben

What a great idea for an article! And well done to your Nan and Aunty in continuing such a tradition.

Obviously the proof reader was out injured in 2018 and they got in a substitute on loan. You should hold on to that one, though – it might become a collector’s item one day, or at least a pub quiz question!

You’re right about scary John Fleck – reminds me of that Russ Abbott character who used to go round headbutting people, saying “see you, Jimmy!” (That might be ‘before your time’, though!).

Brilliant interpretation of the poses, though. As with playing, some are braver than others!

“That’s the beauty of a new year: you never know what it might bring.” Good stuff only, please!!

Sue.
