Always a bit part player for us, never made the grade up after being signed as a promising young player. He and Neil Mellor though played an important part in our Champions League run in 2005. So I'll always remember them for that... but I haven't heard anything about him after he left us. I think he went to Spain and had a decent start to his career there... and then faded away into obscurity. If we sold him to raise funds... I doubt we raised much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 We use to have Anderson, we went back to play in Brazil. He was so unfit, he needed a breathing mask on the pitch, he was conked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 One of the most mental stats I've ever seen From 1993 to 2001 United were 2 points away from winning 9 consecutive Premier League titles. 93 - winners 94 - winners 95 - 1 point behind 96 - winners 97 - winners 98 - 1 point behind 99 - winners 00 - winners 01 - winners And 1 point away from 7 consecutive titles from 2007 to 2013. 07 - winners 08 - winners 09 - winners 10 - 1 point behind 11 - winners 12 - 0 points behind, lost on gd 13 - winners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they are the most remembered 'forgotten' players of all time! For me, a forgotten player is Roy Makaay. Scored hundreds of goals across Spain, Netherlands, and Germany but rarely spoken about today besides his physical similarities to Luis Suarez. Speaking of Luis Suarez, another he eclipsed is the Spanish Luis Suarez. I've gotten into arguements online about the Spaniard due to the names.

How can he be blamed for trying to be a part of perhaps the greatest club team ever? Because he knew he wouldn’t get a sniff and chose to do it anyway. Same with Vermaelan and same with Turan.
