He was a magical player, but I've not liked him since back in '05 when we beat united 1-0, and he got sent off for maliciously raking Davie Weir's achilles.
Kilbane that was babe.

Definitely wasn't. I was at the game.
The midfielders midfield player, everyone from zidane to the new crop like xavi and iniesta saw/see him as the best all round midfielder of his generation.
No surprise you had the barca midfield scrambling for his shirt on Saturday when the whistle went.
One of the few truely world class players England has produced imo.
Always thought he was the United version of Gerrard myself, except gingerer and with the media pretending (via all this coy "well he cant tackle" rubbish) that he wasnt a dirty [Poor language removed], similar of course to their insistance that Stevie G isnt a diving cheat.
A great player, but his history of featuring in a succession of deeply hateful teams will always damn him in my eyes.
