    Thank you Norman Whiteside. You're the reason I'm a Red. 85 was my first fa cup final on TV. Just as he cut inside I said "shoot"... I thought yes. That's my team now. One Love.

    The way he turned Hansen for that cup final goal to do that at 17 against one of Europe’s best centre backs says it all genius he was some player if wernt for the injury’s and the drink culture at Utd then he would have been even better he was a big game player was whiteside

    I remember a game against Arsenal back in 86 where Norman kicked Steve Williams so hard in the first 5 minutes and the next time there was a 50/50 Williams bottled it and the whole crowd roared....We knew we had the game won. My fave player of that era.

    If Nozzer had had an extra yard of pace he could have been world class,(caught offside too much) then unfortunately injuries ended his career way too soon. Unforgettable winning 85 FA Cup Final goal. (another brill mad weekend). Cheers Norman 🍻🏆MUMUFMUFC OK✊🔴⚪⚫

    Whiteside was injured in about 1980/1, wrecked his knee, if he hadn't been he'd have truly been world class still, wasn't bad was he? If he hadn't lost that pace he'd have been a world beater. he was still terrifyingly good at 20, more formidable even than Souness at that point, and Souness was a massive bastard then

    Best
    Keane
    Scholes
    Crerand
    Ince

    I was a big United fan at that time but was never a Norman Whiteside fan. Wasn't at the level of Bryan Robson or Ray Wilkins, ungamely kind of player, not well balanced, I would imagine he was hard to play against because of his awkward playing style.
