September 2007

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer announces his retirement as a player and immediately assumed the role of coach to
United's young strikers. Thank you Ole for all your glorious goals, a legend in his own playing career and legend is not
a word I use lightly or frequently.

Captain Keane

Roy Keane, loyal servant to United for many years, was shown the door by unforgiving Ferguson after publically criticising lazy players.
What makes it worse is that he was right. Roy (07) has now retired from the game and is managing Sunderland in the Championship League after winning a Championship with Celtic.
Roy has brought Sunderland back into the Premiership in his first season in management.

European Champions - Moscow 2008 v Chelsea. Won 6-5 on penalties

Formed as Newton Heath in 1878, the 'Red Devils' became Manchester United in 1902 and were crowned Division One champions just six years later. The FA Cup was also on display at their Bank Street home before a move to Old Trafford was secured in 1910, with another league title sewn up under the leadership of Ernest Mangnall. The inter-war years were barren for the Reds, but Sir Matt Busby became manager in 1945 and his 'Busby Babes' won three league titles in the 1950s. However, tragedy struck on the return from a European tie in 1958 when an air crash in Munich claimed the lives of eight United players and robbed the world of one of the most exciting teams of its era. Busby survived and led United to league glory in 1965 and 1967 before a famous and emotional European Cup triumph in 1968. Frequent success in cup competitions, including lifting the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991, translated into league success in 1993 - the inaugural season of the FA Premier League (1992-93). The red machine went on to dominate English football under Sir Alex Ferguson's leadership. An unprecedented double of FA Premier League and FA Cup Doubles were captured in 1994 and 1996, before 1999's thrilling FA Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble triumph.
