ON THIS DAY

January 11th 1997

United’s towering central defender Matt Elliott, 28 plays his last match for the U’s in a 2-0 defeat to Bradford City at Valley Parade in what is now the Championship.
Ellliott was sold to Leicester City just five days later for a then club record fee of £1.6M.

United were then linked with Cambridge centre back Jody Craddock, Leeds’ Richard Jobson, Celtic’s Malky Mackay and Andy Tillson at Bristol Rovers before Dutchman Brian Wilsterman, 30 somewhat bizarrely walked through the door as Elliott's replacement in late February 1997.

Liverpool look back on when they had to play the kids in the Carabao cup five years ago, because the senior team were in the club World Cup.

One of those rare games when fans from both teams applauded a player’s performance. A thumping loss in a season when we were very strong at the Manor but Georgi Kinkladze was immense that day.

The only game where I stood on the right side of the London Road. I regret it bitterly to this day.

That photo reminds me of a song we used to sing to Phil whitehead every game in the old manor days
Please P**s on me put me out
As my hair is on fire
My scalp is scorched my hair is singed
So please P**s on me and please put me out

If you know, you know.
