@distantvoices ''Glory Hunters from all over followed them'' lol How were they glory hunters? They hadn't won the league in 20 years and only won 3 FA Cup's since winning the European Cup in 1968. Oh, and I thought Uniteds glory hunters only started supporting them in the 1990's. And another myth ''all started after the Munich air crash'' what rubbish, check Uniteds attendances in the 1940's/50's, and no they weren't travelling up from Devon back then!

@conzj484 "The myth that no United fans come from Manchester is encouraged by the media and City fans alike.

The media tray and portray little City as the locals club and United as the world wide beast.

The fact is two thirds of Mancunians support United and one third City.

No amount of media or City hype can cover that fact."

Just to think Liverpool the reigning double winners and yet not even 30,000 could be bothered to turn up surely the train fare couldn't have cost that much for the plastic Liverpool fans in the south back then lol

@HitmeQuick.

It was Liverpool that were ignored. In 1985, Manchester United were top of the league at christmas and the media crowned them champions. At Christmas? They finished 4th. The reason was, the vastly over-rated Bryan Robson, who according to the media was world class was yet again injured and the rest of the team and including Robson were all drunk, Now you cannot win anything when you've got a team of alcoholics. And United did, however the media never mentioned this.

@alslevie1986 I don't recall it being like that. The Media had their tongues so firmly in ring of Liverpool that Man U were largely ignored, along with everyone else. And I'm a Spurs fan, so I have no bias here. Not sure you're right on the Knighthood thing either...check their credentials again and don't be bitter.

I remember this like it was yesterday. You have to say, YouTube is a fucking class idea.

@73reider LOL "try that shite on with me" I'm a United fan! I went to primary school in the North of Ireland during the late 1980's and Liverpool were the best supported team in my class and I won't forget it because I got endless abuse for being a United fan!

@LaughingGravy31 So true....I grew up in Ireland....Liverpool fans far outnumbered United fans at my school......any gloryhunting kid in the 80's would have started following Liverpool.
