Feyenoord away, pre-match Nov '97.

My first ever trip abroad, aged 18.

This was before mainstream internet, an age of naivety.

I honestly thought it was always sunny abroad, hence the short sleeves in November. I also thought that Dutch people walked around in clogs!

Andy Cole secured the first European hat trick for the club since Denis Law.

Paul Bosvelt made a career-threatening assault on the Dennis Irwin.

4k reds made the trip, a violent and eventful affair #MUFC

@MUFamilyStand @gaheath63 @SuperbFootyPics @UtdBeforFergie That's right.

@gaheath63 @SuperbFootyPics Captain Noel Cantwell I reckon.

@johnludds Scored direct from a corner in that poignant debut match I believe.

Thanks for everyone's amazing kindness on this thread.

I showed it to Chris today, and he is absolutely overwhelmed and loves it!

He would like to thank everyone for their support on here, and thanks to all his many friends he has met through football down the decades! #MUFC

A great friend of mine has decided to give up his #MUFC season ticket in May after 40-odd years.

Chris has missed very few matches at Old Trafford over the past 4 decades. He'll be a bit embarrassed by this thread, but I reckon he deserves some recognition for his dedication.

[Phil Maddison @Phil_Maddison]

#MUFC is Chris' life passion, and he has made lifetime friends with people throughout the football journey.

Here's to many more games to come!
