I was 12 years old. I had woken up on the Friday morning, to the sound of my mam and dad asking me to check the time on my alarm clock, I shouted down to them it was 7.30am, they said are you sure, look again, I did….only I turned on my light and there sitting on top of the alarm clock were two tickets to Old Trafford. Went to school buzzing, told everybody from the teacher to the janitor that I was off to Old Trafford,took lots of orders for programmes from the few United lads and also Arsenal fans. Liverpool were the big big club back in the 80’s in my school.

I’d only been a footy fan for two years, and it took leaving the country to see what I was missing.

I worked late on a Wednesday in Feb of 2003 in Toronto. I arrived back at my hotel room around 02:00. Flipping around the channels I stumbled upon a soccer match that was unlike anything I’d seen before. Long, crisp accurate passes, booming shots and a tremendous pace. Come to find out, it was United/Juve in a Champions league match. I spoke to my Danish collegue, knowing he was a United fan, and he started teaching me the game. Well, two weeks later I had to return to Toronto for some more work.

What an amazing feeling walking up the steps and then stepping out into the stadium, amazing atmosphere.  Got to see Solskjaer play due to Van Nistelrooy being out with a poisoned toe!

I was finally going to Old Trafford to see United. Being from Norway I had to wait until I turned 14, and I remember the day as it was yesterday. At the time I was huge fans of Peter Schmeichel, and I had been lucky enough to be at the Cliff for a training session a couple of days before the match. I got his autograph and even if I don’t really care about autographs now I think it is great to look back meeting him as a teenager. I also got autographs from the King, Becks, Giggsy, Pallister so I value the shirt I had them write on.

I’d waited so long to see Manchester United play at Old Trafford, 12 years in fact. I’d previously seen United play at The Molineux in a pre-season friendly where we turned around a great Steve Bull lobbed goal (against Schmeichel) to win 2-1.

I was six years old and after repeatedly whinging at my Grandad that I wanted to go to Old Trafford with him he took me.
