We will NEVER forget you, Kathy๐
I'm gonna miss you so much, thanks for being you, for always looking after me and not least for opening Old Trafford up when I, as a young man unannounced came in to your reception, asking if it was possible to see the pitch for just one minute. You had no idea who I was, no idea that I one day would be playing for your beloved team, but you got the gate opened and I got my first glimpse at the most beautiful football stadium in the world. At the time I didn't know that I would spend most afternoons sat next to you sorting out my fan mail having a cup of tea and a chat. Mancheter united through and through, with the heart and soul of the club ingrained in you, that's how I will remember you. Coming to Old Trafford in the future will be different from now on. Rest in peace Kath โค๏ธ๐ค๐ค

โHave you not had enough of your magic?โ You have done everything in football. Enough. He told me "it was a normal goal you was little ahead of the goal" . It shocked me. I told him " a normal goal ?
