Where were we 10 years ago!

It really is interesting to see where the club has been over the years. Today lets go back 10 years and look at the 2001/02 season.


Bobby Robson was our esteemed manager who worked for the man you either love or hate - Chairman Freddy Shepherd. Alan Shearer was our captain and along will Gary Speed he led a promising up and coming team. The Summer transfer activity marked the end of one era with the likes of Rob Lee and Warren Barton leaving the club and the beginning of another as Craig Bellamy arrived from Coventry and Jermaine Jenas from Nottingham Forest. Along with these arrivals we also brought in Laurent Robert and loaned Sylvain Distin. Ironically this season really saw the birth of the Brat pack at United. Our exciting young players were great, but off the field they joined the growing breed of premiership Bling boys - young lads with too much money. However these were exciting times for United as we added a youthful excitement to the side - the future looked bright.

Who would of thought we would go through so much in the 10 years since then!
