If you’d told me as a young Man Utd professional trying to make my way in the game, that I’d be back there over 30 years later with a PhD celebrating students graduating, I think I would’ve had you locked up! It’s mad where life takes you, it really is! The twists and turns eh?

When entering a club full time at 16 (incorporating the 4 football leagues), it’s approx 6/100 (6%) who will go on to make at least 25 league/ cup appearances.
If starting the journey from under 9s, it’s approx 1/1000 (0.1%) who will do it.
An incredibly tough industry!

The ‘glorious twelfth.’ Grouse shooting commences if that’s your bag! What better way to celebrate its anniversary by digging out this banger of a goal from the Charity Shield of 1967. How can you not smile at Denis Law’s body swerve ☺️ What a goal and what great commentary! ❤️🇾🇪
