None of you are old enough to remember mark Hughes disgraceful dive that year that got them to the final!! they wouldnt have won it that year they cheated his disgraceful dive in the quarter final (i think it was) won them the cup winners cup.

I can remember him pretending to be head-butted by a player from one of the Moscow teams in an early round of a European competition, and the guy getting sent off. I don't know if this the same incident. (I suspect the one I've described is from the Champions League.)

@texasw It was at Old Trafford against Montpellier, the player in question was Pascal Baills.

@Zorg2006 Good call. I would never have known that. I think I was confusing 'one of the Moscow teams' with the time Utd got beat at home by one of them. Moscow Dynamo (?) were something like 8-1 to win and were probably "Bet of the Day" in the Racing Post. I can remember one Utd fan in the office betting on them.

[zzzaaa0990]

Barcelona just didn't turn up for this game and were caught on the hop.Amen.Fast forward to 2009 and 2011 and the nasters of Tiki Taka were tearing man u/fa apart with consumate ease.Also a mention goes out to 1994 (4-0).I like it.Amen.

@aboothunitedstates

Schmeichel sent the ball into orbit, as he often did. Hughes went to meet it as 3 defenders went to meet him. Almost in slow motion, the ball drops dead on the end of Hughes toe and he comes out of a crowd of defenders, does a little bootleg turn towards goal and puts in a cross. I've never seen it before or since and I've never seen the crowd give an ovation for it either. A genius player who was about far more than putting the ball in the net.

[aboothunitedstates]

He was simply one of the best strikers ever. Natural ability and as strong as an ox, with great control. He wasn't the most prolific scorer, but he tended to score top quality goals and was a big game player, often scoring the goal that counted, like this one.

I remember him getting a standing ovation at Old Trafford for just trapping a ball.

love that goal... who is that commentator ? it seems like he always gets the best matches...

but just a footnote... this footage was from 91 which to everyone who is 28 +, was a couple of years ago.... but it looks so so antiquated and retro!! crazy
