United prospect Ben Collett has been awarded £4.3m as a result of his career being ended by a tackle against Middlesboro. Fair play to Fergie, he attended the court hearing and gave good testimony for the kid.

However, Gerry Ryan got NOTHING when that bastard Henry Hughton butchered him at Selhurst 20+ years ago :angry::angry:

That's a whole f*** load of cash for a player who was only playing his 1st reserve game. How the hell can you say that he was going to have a long and successful career?! Plenty of kids the majority infact probably fail to make the grade so it seems a bit generous to me.

By the same token how can you say he couldn't make it ?

Alex Ferguson was just about to sign him into a 3 year deal apparently.

I could have earnt millions playing for a premiership club but my chances were blown when I didn't make it in to the year 7 school football team, I think I might sue my school for not spotting my talent.
