    My 1st Favourites from 1989 when I was 7:

    Terry Hurlock - hard and a very good footballer
    Brian Horne - England U21 goalie, only 5ft10, massive punt
    Perry Groves - longest throw in England
    Brian Marwood - left footed like me
    Robert Rosario - looked exotic
    Chris Waddle - most skilful player about

    I hated:
    Lee Dixon (rat like), David Speedie (for standing offside all the time), John Lukic (for the shuffle as he did a goal kick), Paul Ince (everyone hated him in 1989), Neil Webb (pansy)

    Like it!

    Shows Speedie for what he was, a cheat. He would always be trying to get people sent off. Stepping on toes, backing in, elbows, little digs. Saw a lot of him when I was young, he would wind the crowd up so much. And the offside thing can anyone else remember it?

    Bryan Robson, Remi Moses and Norman Whiteside (genius who was his own worst enemy).

    Favourite non-United players were probably Hoddle and Beardsley.
