MUTV Group Chat: Catch up with Keith Gillespie

The former winger left the Reds in 1995 but revealed during the course of his video chat with Stewart Gardner and regular guests Ben Thornley, Danny Webber, Wes Brown and David May that Sir Alex Ferguson personally called him to try and convince him to rejoin United a few months later.

Keith went on to explain why the deal fell through and which of his old team-mates spilled the beans on the Reds’ approach for the then-Newcastle United man.

During the Q&A session - which you can read below - Gillespie also spoke about developing as part of the famous Class of '92, being compared to George Best and his later struggles with gambling.
