I'm a spurs fan but I've been a closet Man Utd because I've 'grown up' with those players. I've been tracking their progress for nearly 20 years since I was at school because I grew up with John.

I live in London but I was actually born and raised in Nottingham.

Man U??

Everton, I didnt think you were a Man U fan... I think the 90's players were some of the best of there time (look at the england sqaud, it might as well of been Man U), but Man U??

Aren't you from London?? :)

Yeah, he went from Man Utd to Everton and then to Bolton and then to Bury, Bradford, Wimbledon and Burnley (loan) and then Blackpool. Never really settled anywhere which is a shame as he had a lot of talent.

When we were growing up I never twigged just how good he was, but looking back it was obvious e.g. how many 7 year olds play in an under 11 team, and are also one of the best players??!!!

I always remember the first time he played for United on TV - he had a shocker. It was in a Champions league game, and United were down 2-0 within 15 mins due to John's mistakes. I think he got subbed after abotu 30 mins :-(

Ah, John O'Kane! Seen him play quite a bit, I think he was here (Blackpool) for 2 years. *checks*

He played more first team games for us than anyone else, oddly. However, he wasn't quite good enough (mostly down to his workrate) and left for Hyde United(!?)
