During the 1990s, Official Branches of the Manchester United Supporters’ Clubs used to be able to meet their Player of the Season after a game at Old Trafford. It was our way of thanking the player for his contribution to the team.
The members of Carryduff MUSC voted for their Player of the Year in April and I then contacted Barry Moorhouse, the Membership Secretary at United to arrange to meet the chosen player. In season 1993/94, our choice was Eric Cantona. He scored 18 times for us in the Premiership in his 34 league games that season and would go on to score two penalties in our 4-0 FA Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.
