On 15 May 2012, Sir Alex Ferguson brought Manchester United to Belfast to play an Irish Premier League Select in a game celebrating Harry Gregg’s Testimonial. The game was organised by The George Best Carryduff Manchester United Supporters’ Club and was played at Windsor Park, Belfast before a sell-out crowd.
It was the first and only time a Manchester United Supporters' Club organised a match in which United played, and the boss had promised to bring his strongest squad to Belfast because it was what Harry deserved.
He was true to his word as United arrived with a matchday squad packed with first-team stars, including Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Antonio Valencia, Ji-sung Park, Nani, Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Paul Scholes, as well as local lad Jonny Evans.
