Ryan Joseph Giggs
D.O.B: 29th November 1973
Nationality: GB/ Wales
City of Birth: Cardiff, Wales
Weight: 68Kg/10st 10lb
Height: 180cm/5ft 11in
Position: Midfield/winger
Debut date: 02 March 1991

The player that caught my eyes when i just started following united back in 1992-93. I saw him doing his dribble past two or three players against Arsenal if im not mistaken and i asked dad, who is he to which dad told me he is Giggs. Never knew his full name until i heard the commentator one day called him Ryan Giggs. Eversince then, i will always look out for him and look forward to see him in every matches. What do i know, I only realized lately that ive been doing that for 15 years or so now!

I fear for the day he would called it quits. Being soooo used to watching him every week for a long time, his sudden disappearance will be a HUGE blow to me. I dont even have to imagine that to know how i would feel, i can actually feel it now everytime when i talk about it. Every new season, as much as i am looking forward to a new adventure, a little part of me will have the thought will this be his last season? I know players come and go, even Sir Alex Ferguson will leave us one day too (that will be a bigger heartbreak thou) but its just hard to take.

Witnessing his development, from being a magnificent winger to a stand in central midfielder as age catches up. 11 Premiership Medals, 2 European Cups and many many more accolades, how can anyone not make him an idol? And all these he achieved while playing for the only one club!And no, no red card as well! I dont care if people called me bias but he dont deserved any criticism no matter how bad he played because as much as i can recall, he did well many more times than he played badly these past years, so that evens it out.



Paul Aaron Scholes
D.O.B: 16 November 1974
Place of Birth: Salford, England
Weight: 11st 9lbs
Height: 5'7
Position: Midfield
Debut date:21 Sep 1994

The second runner-up. If Im honest, i love him as much as Giggsy and despite his tackles, i love everything about him. Not only is he a great player on the pitch, in fact no doubt one of the best midfielder England ever produce, and he topped it off with a great character as well. Perhaps not many journalist would agree with that but personally i think, thats how footballers should be. You do your talking on the pitch not anywhere off it, leave that to the manager or even the coach. Whats the use of all these interview anyway when the question that often been asked is How do you feel? What do you think? etc, etc, whoever is going to believe that whatever the players said is genuinely what they think?

I didnt talk much about Scholes but thats only because he didnt talk much as well and i respect him for that because all along I have the thinking that he doesnt like being in the limelight which probably is true. But that doesnt mean he didnt hold a big part in my life supporting united. The best midfielder that ive seen playing for united and still do too. Like Giggsy, i hate to think about the day he decided to hang up his boots. A sure thing a player like him is very hard to replace, his vision, his passes, his crossing and most of all his creativity is second to none and that doesnt include his loyalty yet. If there is anyone that fits the word underated perfectly, it would be him, Paul Scholes. How the hell does he not win any personal award just yet? This is just not fair.




Nemanja Vidic
D.O.B: 21 Oct 1981
Place of Birth: Uzice, Serbia
Weight: 13st 0lbs
Height: 6'2
Position: Defence
Debut date: 25 Jan 2006

He rocks! Everytime i think of Vidic, its kind of funny and it remind me never to doubt Sir Alex & his gang ability to spot talent. Well its always easier to spot talent but difficult to groom that talent but with Vidic, i dont think the gaffer had a lot of problem. Within his stay in Manchester, he had already surpassed Rio in being the best CD in the premiership and together they make a perfect item. Not only he is rock solid at the back but he can score goals too. A complete package of what we really need and its not easy not to like him. Another priceless asset we have that i hope we dont let go.


Wayne Mark Rooney
D.O.B:24 Oct 1985
Place of Birth:Croxteth, Liverpool
Weight:12st 5lbs
Height:5'10
Position:Forward
Debut date:28 Sep 2004

Hah! So where do i start?? 25/08/2005 - Manchester United confirm they have made an offer to Everton for striker Wayne Rooney. Pissed off! No way Jose i want a him in the team just no! I dont like the fact that he is a scouser, and his famous tagline "Once a Blue, always a blue" always make me think that he wouldnt want to be with us.

Guess what?? Im sooooo damn wrong of course. And the irony, he happens to be if not the most, one of the dedicated players we have in the team. People always talk of his temper and tantrums but to me thats what make him special. Just as long as it didnt affect us in anyway of course.


Also i like how he go about doing his thing without really that much HU-HA and playing for Manchester United didnt make him big headed in anyway at all. His passion for football and for united can be seen even on the pitch. I really have very high hopes on him and in him i was actually hoping to see another Ryan or Scholes like players, someone who will end his united career here with us but as much faith i have, ive learned not many of today's player can do that so we'll see.


John O'Shea
D.O.B:30 Apr 1981
City of Birth:Waterford, Ireland
Weight:11st 11lbs
Height:6'3
Position:All Over
Debut date:13 Oct 1999

He might not be the best player on the field but no doubt his existence is one that i will appreciate for a long time. People talk about Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and and Gary Neville about loyalty and its always easier to brush player like Sheasy but for me, his willingness and his sacrifice into becoming a versatile player for us is enough to see how much loyalty he have for the club.To add to that the amount of criticism he gets is beyond words and its a shame really seeing how we love to have a loyal player in the club but yet when we see one we didnt tend to acknowledge it. Regardless how he perform, he will always be in that soft spot in my heart. It is definitely not easy to perform consistently well for all matches when your playing in different position each game but atleast he tried.

Man Utd 3 VS 1 Tottenham Hotspurs 12 Sept 2009
Venue: White Hart Lane
Scorer: Defoe, Giggs, Anderson & Rooney
Line-up: Foster, O'shea, Rio, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs, Anderson, Rooney & Berbatov
Subs: Carrick for Berbatov (61 mins), Nani for Anderson (80 mins),






What do you know? With all the good start Spurs was having and all the breaking into the top four spot talk has really put some doubt over the result of this match before the game. I was ready to bring back a point tbh looking at how we are playing away and after an international week too.

But boy that was awesome! People kept on questioning how we do without Ronaldo so I guess in this match, we got to see a glimpse of what life will be without him. And that too without any of our new signing in the team as well as VDS still out injured. This is what beautiful football is all about. Great start from Spurs and credits to them for playing football the right way thus making it very exciting to watch.

Being a goal down so early is something im not really worried about because Ive always know there will be time when we are forced to come back from being 1-0 down but to see the way we do it and the major improvement in passing which i complaint of so much during the Arsenal match really make me sooo happy!

Evra was incredible! So were Fletcher and Rooney. The difference in this match to me is our midfield which consist of Fletcher, Scholes and Anderson! Something we miss a lot recently and to see the three of them stepped up like they should is always a good sight. Going by this rate, apart from Scholes which no matter how I so much wanted him to start but I know with the age catching up, he wasnt really fit to do so often, Fletch and Anderson should really be our first choice what more seeing Anderson working so hard for a placing to which i think he deserved it. Am over the moon that he finally break his duck to score that one and what a goal it was too. Im a bit surprise to see his decent celebration as judging by the duration he gets his first proper competitive goal, I expected more than that, maybe like Adebayor running thru the whole pitch LOL!

Also am sooooooo happy for Giggs. I almost forgot, in him we have a freekick taker that are capable to take quality free kicks thanks to Ronaldo but in this match, he once again reminded me that nothing is lost in term of goals coming from freekicks. I sooo feel like running thru the tv screen and give him a hug at that particular time LOL! That little interchange he had with Rooney rite before the free kick is cheeky but yet classy! I seriously thought Rooney is going to take it and i bet Cudicini thought so too thats why the goal. And with that goal, once again, he has proven that he is the only player to have scored in every premiership season since it started.

Roooneyyyyyyy!! What else is there to say about him? The most consistent player apart from Evra and so far he didnt show any sign for me to feel any disappointment yet with how he perform. Also its finally nice to see him being selfish once in a while cause he really should now that with Ronaldo gone. Love his composure for that goal what more being closed down with two players and the timing he decided to shoot couldnt be anymore perfect timing. I feel anytime he delayed it, it wouldnt go in goal so credits to him for that.

Apart from that, I feel all players generally do well for this match except for maybe vidic who look abit tense a couple of time but still made a few important clearance. Evra deserved a special mentioned. What a nuinsance he was and at times, he even went down the middle in an attempt to score a goal. I even feel that he is like doing two job at one go, a LB and a winger at the same time lol..Foster is looking better and better too with more games under his belt and good for him really. I know Ive been harsh with him but there couldnt be a better sight than to see him do well. His reading of the game has started to improve and so were his alertness. Hopefully he keep this up and keep on improving so that we dont really have to search anymore for VDS replacement. And Berbatov is starting to look good and everyday, Im actually starting to like him more and more nevermind his laid back character but Ive seen what he is capable of and that I think is why Sir Alex bought him in the first place.

Fletcher....to me...he is no more a squad player and to think that we havent lose everytime with him in the team might just be a hint how he should actually start the match everytime. Oh rite and Scholes ...LOL! Now he is sooo adorable and maybe the fact that his tackles are sooooo famous that it didnt hurt as much when he was send off because of it, or it was because we were leading at that time, I dont know but its still bizarre to think a player of his calibre within his many years playing the game, this is one part of him that he didnt managed to improve on. How and why?? Its a bit silly really to get send off everytime for his tackling and i bet he's kind of frustrated with that too but like Ronaldo and his diving, Scholes is too famous with his tackling that he lives upon it and hard to brush it away from the lad. This is not bias but frankly, with the way he do his job, I have not much to complaint really even thou his tackle might be a problem.

All in all, great match from both team and the best performance from united so far this season. Lets hope this is just the beginning and more like today are to come. Come on United...lets rock the European night this time round!
