Glory Hunter

So why is it that I got more excited about Man U when we hardly ever won anything? We won the FA Cup (before it was Axa-sponsored) in 1983, 1985 and 1990. We won the League Cup in 1991, nearly — but for a determined Leeds Utd and a last-day defeat against Liverpool — won the title in 1992, then in 1993 it happened: we won the championship. It’s hard to imagine now, in these days of being called a “glory boy”, but by 1993 we hadn’t won the championship for 26 years. That is a long time for a club of the size of Man Utd.
