Remembering Les Sealey

In a 24-year playing career, Les Sealey travelled as far afield as Plymouth Argyle and Blackpool to play the game he loved, but, at Manchester United, he proved he was far more than a journeyman professional.

Sealey first came to United on a month's loan from Luton Town in December 1989 and he quickly made an impact in the dressing room.

“Les was a very quiet, unassuming man…” joked Brian McClair.”... No, he was exactly the same as you saw him on the pitch! A larger than life figure with a great sense of humour who loved his football and worked hard.
