But was it perhaps, the greatest decade in history to be a Manchester United supporter?
If you didn’t live through those times, you might think that a somewhat insane question. What about the 1990s, and the amazing rise towards the Treble?
What about the golden years of the Busby Babes, in the 1950s? Or Best, Law and Charlton in the swinging sixties – our very own galactico era?
Of course, all the decades mentioned above were unforgettable. And they delivered enough silverware to make Blenheim Palace look budget.
But football is about so much more than what happens on the pitch – if you’re a match-going supporter, at least.
