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.

Keep your mouth shut pls....

Thank You very MUCH!!

You know, when I used to hear other players coming out with comment about not playing enough and not getting enough chances and comments made against the manager, I remember feeling very glad and thankful that our players does not react the same apart from one or two which is not as often. It is also one of the reason to why I love this club so much because somehow, our players were made to understand their position and whatever situation we are in. Obviously, only god knows how they really feel just as long its between them and the manager and its not one for the public to know, then I have no case to argue.

That has not been the case lately thou. One by one our players were quoted to come out with unpleasant dissatisfaction for not getting enough opportunity. First it was Nani then lately Foster.

Now, obviously, given the players position, they might have the right to complaint cause logically, players wanted to play all the time but one question is, have they really done enough to even moan about it?

First of all, I think they should really look at who they are playing for which happens to be Manchester United of course and how big this club is. Big in my definition is the number of staff including the squad we have at this moment.

Secondly, its best if they look around at their team mates. See the quality they have and compare it to what others can offer that they cant. Ask themselves whether they have given as much as the rest?

I think players now is starting to take things for granted. Infact, normal human beings always tend to do so in our normal daily life. Its normal really to get so hype up and excited over something new but as we go along doing the same thing everyday, we will tend to treat is as nothing new. If only they knew that getting spotted by Man utd scouts & being offered a contract isnt actually as difficult as getting the opportunity to wear that shirt and actually play for Manchester United. Its how you actually work your way to keep your place that matter most.

Nani, he started well when he first came. Full of excitement and promises which come hand in hand with the talent he have. Just like any other new players that have joined us, I have high hope for him and at that time he look like a player that could rise quickly or at the least, in his second year or third. But strangely, entering his third year now, he is still struggling. This too without Ronaldo around. One could easily say that he doesnt have enough time or opportunity to improve but frankly, as fact as it is, Im getting abit sick and tired of that excuses.

How long does he need? How often opportunities does he want?? Come on now...with the players he is competing with, lets face it, if you are no Ronaldo or Rooney...I reckon forget about wanting to be the core player. How can anyone expect more when they didnt give as much. Take Fletcher for instance. How long does he have to wait to finally be the player he is now. What Fletcher is for us today is what every other player should look at. Patience is what brought him to this level and of course the dedication to improve with every opportunity he gets. He can now proudly stand tall and say he earned his form today and as a fan, I have no reason to complaint.

Same goes with Foster. What was he thinking?? Ok, everyone have the right to dream and have the right to have a goal but how can you moan about not reaching that goal when you dont have what it takes? Its like me applying to be a lawyer with just an O level in my hand ffs.

Both Foster and Nani are talented players true but whether its enough for them to be a man utd player is the question that they need to ask themselves. They are now under the guidance of the best manager around and a manager who has met or work with hundreds of great players along his years of being a manager and yet we have this two questioning his decision for not giving them enough? Frankly, I still hope that they would improve and that I have not yet give up hope on them but if they dont understand the rotating concept and winning as a team like Fletcher or Oshea does, then I dont mind one bit if they wanted to leave. Why stay if you already think you have given your best shot and still not getting picked? If this is your best shot, then sorry, its not what Manchester United are looking for. Perhaps, they can find true happiness elsewhere like the many players we have that didnt really make it.
