Happy Birthday Old Trafford.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Old Trafford stadium (The Theatre of Dreams).
My greatest memory of the place was back in 1984 when United played Spain's Barcelona in the Cup Winners Cup quarter final 2nd leg.
United were 2-0 down from the 1st leg and faced an uphill struggle against Maradona's Barcelona.
The atmosphere hours before the kick off was nothing short of partizan.
It was clear to everyone lucky enough to have been present that night (I was one) that a United victory was imminent. There was no question of defeat.
Bryan Robson's performance was the stuff schoolboy dreams are made of.
Just watching this again raises the hairs on the back of neck.
Incredible night!!!
