IT was the team that rocked European football with one of the most dramatic Champions League wins ever.
Teddy Sheringham struck in the 91st minute, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 93rd as Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 2-1 for a sensational victory.
This is what happened to those stars of 1999...

Gary Neville, the best right back ever for united and england, purportedly used his hand to touch the ball and gave away a cheap and needless freekick to bayern after 11 years later, which ribery duly obliged with a deflected goal, of all people, a rooney deflection that rendered VDS helpless in goal.
I am wondering how the game may pan out if he did not use his hand to concede a dangerous fk outside the penalty area. probably united still hang on to a 1-0 slim lead, or bayern scored to make it 1-1. not a bad result to take back to old trafford in 8 days time.

Neville best ever England right-back ? you must be kidding ?
Gary Stevens was much better..............
Stuart Pierce, Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn - one of them is a right-back and whichever one was also far far ahead of Neville.............
