'United is tradition for us; it’s what we do'
And there are some, like Tom and Dave Pye – the fans in the latest United Review handshake illustration – for whom the Theatre of Dreams is the nearest football pitch to their back garden.
The father-and-son pair have been coming to games together at our famous old stadium since 1982, when Tom (now aged 75) first brought Dave (now 47). Since 1984, when Dave acquired his ‘League Match Ticket Book’, they’ve attended virtually every home fixture. And their family’s history in the area goes back even further.
Tom grew up within a family of nine kids, and United was in the blood – and everywhere else, for that matter.
