'I begged Mum for a Beckham mohican!'

Even though I grew up in north London, my love for the Reds has been with me since the age of about four, when my dad bought me the 99/00 season away kit

I remember wearing it whenever I got the chance: I’d come straight back from school, run upstairs to put it on, and ask my mum to take me to the park so I could practise in it.

I guess the person I really have to thank for why I'm a Manchester United fan is my grandad, Victor. He has been a supporter since the Busby Babes, at which time he was a teenager in a small fishing village just outside Accra called Apam.
