'Wembley ’68 cost me my job ... but it was worth it!'

The latest fan to feature in our matchday programme's iconic United Review handshake illustration, Addy has been going to Old Trafford since he was just five, and has been a season ticket holder for more than five decades.

And if you want a demonstration of just how deep his resolve to follow United runs, just go back to 1968 and the day the Reds became the first English team to lift the European Cup, beating Benfica 4-1 at Wembley.

Addy was a callow 15-year-old coppersmith apprentice back then, but nothing was going to stop him getting down to London to watch one of the most momentous nights in our club’s 145-year history.
