Hi everyone, this is NK. Although I am from a cricket crazy country India, but Football makes my heart beat. My Dad was a full international with the Indian football team in the 70's and now a professional coach.
In India, we never got a chance to see the league action before the 1997-98 season on TV. I had been a keen follower of football history from around the world but no other club or team captured my imagination like United. It was heart breaking to read about Munich and the Babes, but equally joyful to read about the triumph of 68. And when we got a chance to watch the league action live from across the European leagues in the late 90's, I was fascinated by United's play and support. All those stories I had read till that time, flashed across my eyes. So true, so great, this club is.
And ever since, I have been hooked to all things United. Did not have a great start in losing the title to the Gooners in 97-98, but then we all know what happened the next year. And there has been no shortage of drama and action ever since. But thats the United way, isn't it?
Looking forward to having a great stay here at the forum and sharing views and opinions with like-minded people, whose hearts lie in the red half of Manchester. What more, I am already planning to fly to Manchester to watch a game live at the Theater of Dreams this year. Hope everything works out.
