Unrecognisable Man United legend who urinated on team-mates and drank a £200 bottle of champagne with a tramp during 12-day bender has forged a very different path in life

It was May 26, 1999; arguably the most famous night in Manchester United's history. An extraordinary stoppage-time turnaround had seen Sir Alex Ferguson's side claim victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, and no player loomed larger than David May.

Not in the heat of the contest itself, you understand. The United defender, playing second fiddle to Ronny Johnsen and Jaap Stam, never made it off the bench that night in Barcelona.

But once the dust settled - once the famous treble of Premier League, FA Cup and European Cup silverware was complete and the celebrations could begin - May was everywhere.
