Who was the forward who was ex United - only played a couple of games for us in the late 80s - looked a class player but had to stop playing because of a back problem - same reason he had to retire from the full time game. Nicky Wood I think



That was, indeed, Nicky Wood.

He played two games (and scored one goal) for us during the 1989/90 season.




United/City aside does anyone remember who was playing for Cheltenham that day? (the day Nicky Wood scored)

Andy Gray?

Going back a long way here but in the early 1920's there was a guy called Lal Hilditch who played for us, then moved to United (making 300 appearances or so) and then went on to become Manager at United. I believe that he is the only player/manager Manchester United have ever had.

I read it a while ago, so details may be a bit sketchy.

Once the most expensive player in Britain at £45,000. When United signed him from Sheffield Wednesday, he was an extremely graceful attacking midfield player (or correctly inside forward). Unfortunately he was plagued by back injuries, and subsequently weight problems. He eventually went intp partnership with Freddie Pye in the scrap metal business.
