The headline were the words once spoken by Matt Busby, but today in the rarified atmosphere of the Premier League, the present owners of Manchester United since 2005 until Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 25% stake is finally verified, Sir Matt's words have meant nothing to the Glazer Family-quite the opposite-what they have understood is football without the Supporters hard earned cash is nothing as well as Sky/Amazon/TNT! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This group of memorabilia from well over a hundred years ago showed the football was the working man's game and now what it has developed into.

Just click on any images to get a closer look, thanks for viewing Smile

Leslie,

Thanks for posting. Your 'Supporters' photo link speak volumes.
I was looking at the relegation pitch invasion but couldn't spot myself, a 15 year old at the time.
I clearly remember the police charge causing a stampede and a lot of fallen bodies which could have ended in disaster (this was caught on film but has been hushed up ever since)

What fans of other teams may find hard to comprehend is that all the fans on the pitch were actually celebrating and showing their support for United in defiant unity!

Your photos are a superb representation of United Supporters throughout the ages.

Thanks again, Mark.
