At Manchester United, more than perhaps any other football club, the highs are deeply, emotionally connected with the lows.
Chas Banks MBE, the secretary of MUDSA – football’s oldest disabled supporters’ association – knows that better than most.
Raised in the shadows of Old Trafford, he can remember watching the glorious Busby Babes play as a young child, only to see three of their bodies taken down Chester Road in hearses just two months later, after the Munich Air Disaster. “Total silence,” is his recollection. “It's a bit upsetting even now, thinking about it.”
Chas is also one of the few fans to take part in this series that has picked a United defeat.
