Stu’s Football Flashbacks

Behind the scenes clip of Alex Ferguson joking around and interviewing ITV’s Gary Newbon before a live Champions League match in the mid-90s. Not often you saw this side to the Manchester Utd manager…

It’s 33 years since @alanshearer’s record-breaking move to Blackburn. So here’s two minutes of him ruining a goalkeepers’ Saturday afternoons…
