Professional footballers and fans alike fantasise about playing in the Theatre of Dreams. I often imagined myself what it would feel like to step onto hallowed turf. Now I no longer have to. The dream has become reality, and I can say it out loud – I played at the home of Manchester United!
As I write these words, I still struggle to believe what’s happened in recent weeks. It’s also hard to find the right way to express the emotions I’ve felt. I’ve been supporting Manchester United for almost 30 years. I’ve experienced the glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign and witnessed some great games at Old Trafford.
