The lifelong Reds fan recently reached 55 years as a member of staff at United, working first at the stadium offices, then the main reception at Carrington, but also on matchdays.

The club is much changed since she arrived as a telephone switchboard operator in September 1968, but, as she told us when we caught up with her last month, she loves being here as much as ever.

Congratulations on reaching 55 years at the club. How does it feel to have been here so long?

“I still enjoy it. I know I’m getting old, but I don’t think I could stay at home.
