Straight outta Urmston, crazy muddy funster called Lefthand, from a gang called middle aged chaps with attitude. Damn, that stuff was dope (apparently)

@markhalliwell4 @UtdBeforFergie He was fucking shite, sorry Garth. As was Peter Davenport, Garry Birtles, Terry Gibson etc etc. They have all played more times for Manchester United than I have, however 🤷‍♂️

@sirchurchy @adam_la2karis Was it? Not sure it’s widely available any more though 🤷‍♂️

@TaintlessRed It’s how Liverpool ruined my footballing life in the late 70s and most of the 80s - no sentiment just incredible attention to detail to ensure the team always moved forwards despite their dominance. Sir Alex picked up the baton (1995 etc) and (unfortunately) Pep too, latterly.

@KevinMcNamar123 I Can See For Miles
The Real Me
Substitute
Behind Blue Eyes
Won’t Get Fooled Again

My Dad’s favourites - these songs are part of my DNA.

@utdnem Ryan Giggs - whilst I never saw Best play live, my old man told me he had plenty of stinkers - as did Giggs (not that YouTube would let you believe it). Giggs’s longevity in a team that was always challenging for the very top trophies, for me, has to give him the nod?

@batcountry1980 Of course, I meant to say that if you don’t get it then the song is NOT for you 😂. Squeeze lyrics are beyond criticism as far as I’m concerned. Best lyricists since Lennon & McCartney for me.

@80s90sfootball Aston Villa ‘82!

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@PintsBeauty The German Lager is off the scale good! Thought it was my little secret 😂. The Belgian cans are reminiscent of old style Stella too!

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@20th_Centurygal Neil Young. Next?

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@sarm0161 Not if they ever saw Robson play, surely (and that’s no slight on Keane who was immense)? Imagine what he’d be worth today?

@JChigumula 1976 - my Dad coming home from Wembley and admitting he’d cried. We lived 1/4 mile from Old Trafford and could hear the crowd.

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@batcountry1980 Incredible - yet again you’ve nailed it, thank you. Your point about “incubatorgate” is spot on; if you don’t get it, then this song is for you.

I will never not listen to this song if it comes on - anywhere, anytime.

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@IanCheeseman Sorry for your loss 💔

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@Bus_stop_ratbag Somehow managed to blag a gig DJing at the student union in 89/90 and played the 12 inch of this which was actually on a 7 inch disc. Played it at 45, not realising it should have been played at 33! Fortunately, no one else realised.

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@misterdickinson @pollybirkbeck Oh, that’s a shame - I always thought he was just a bit “eccentric” but otherwise a good bloke 🙁

[Leexwams @nickleeland]

@Jay318_utd Or, more simplistically - watching United under Amorim, shite, can’t beat crap like Wolves or Burnley. Watching United under Carrick, less shite - chance of the odd goal 🤷‍♂️, some entertainment. Better.

@MooseAllain ❤️

@DexxterUtd We took his brilliance for granted for sure. 2010 before his injury against Bayern he was unstoppable - possibly the best player in the world at that moment…
