[Football] 30 Years Ago Today

David Beckham debut for Utd at The Goldstone. Nice welcome of "who the ****ing hell are you" about 20 seconds in

 

[Is it PotG?]

One of the stewards drank in our pub, kindly helped about 7 of us in through the West into the NW corner.

Reading the above post (#7), I wish I had bought one though!

No, worst shorts ever but the shirt is one of the best home shirts we have had.

Fair shout actually. It's v nice.

My shirt was signed by the team (Digweed testimonial), but the signatures faded, so I washed it.... leaving me with a close-to-mint, unworn shirt, in XL. Must be worth a bit...

No, but looking back through what programmes I kept I have this one with my own joined up scribble of his name on the team sheet. Unique but worthless.

I was there and remember the chant. Little did we know. I like David Beckham. Am I allowed to say that?

His arrogance and petulance cost us dear v Argentina.

Yes it did. But we all make mistakes. I disliked him and blamed him much like most football fans. But over time, he more than made up for it with example and some beautiful football.

Only if you acknowledge the shameful Qatar cash-in...

Worst. Kit. Ever.

I beg to differ ....
