Rejecting Sir Alex Ferguson's call to join the Class of 92, scoring in the top 10 tiers of English football and his next big target - Jamie Cureton on his journey through the pyramid

Jamie Cureton still wonders about Sir Alex Ferguson. His big 'what if' in a career stretching across more than a thousand games in more than three decades and 23 clubs.

He is close to 400 goals scored and has become the first player to score in all top 10 tiers of English football, but what if Cureton had said yes to Ferguson and joined Manchester United not Norwich City at the age of 16.

It was the chance to become centre forward in the youth team featuring David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary Neville, knocking in the goals for those now branded as the Class of 92 but it is the Fergie factor that makes him think.
