Happy anniversary to United's Class of '92

According to an archived copy of the club's yearbook, that was the date on which David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes commenced their trainee contracts under the tutelage of the late, great youth coach Eric Harrison - who can be seen below with his prodigies, in a scene captured several seasons later.

Also in the photo are Ryan Giggs and Phil Neville, who are regarded as integral Class of '92 members too, even if the latter was actually captain of the 1995 Youth Cup-winning side. The line-up in our image below is completed on the right by Terry Cooke, who also helped Harrison's young Reds to triumph in 1995 but didn't quite manage to scale the same heights with United as his very famous peers.
