What Year Did You Start Supporting United
1979
Why United
Why not? I remember going to a xmas panto in 1979 where the bus driver had the League Cup final with Aberdeen which Utd went on to win in a replay. Can't remember why I decided to follow United but they were the best team in this area then.
First United Match
My dad took me to see Morton in April 1980, think it was the 5th April but we played them twice that month and both were won 2-0 - I've been hooked ever since!!!
Favourite All-Time Player
Super Sash (Dave Narey).
Favourite Current Player
Lee Wilkie
When did you first hear about the Glenrothes Arabs and how?
My first game was the Hibs semi-final 2004/05, I had been to cup finals with the Glenrothes bus before and as transport was a problem through to Hampden I thought I'd check you lot out.
Most Memorable Goal
Bannon v Borussia ('81 I was there), and Ralphie on 14/5/83.
Best/Favourite Goal
Brewster thunderbolt from 1/2 yard at Hampden.
Regretted Missing a Game
Not really, but would have liked to have been at Ibrox last season when we shut up shop and beat Rangers when they were trying.
Favourite Away Ground
Tynecastle.
Worst Away Ground
Dens.
Best Home Match
Borussia '81, most recently Aberdeen in Scottish Cup last year when we won 4-1 (I went with an Aberdeen supporters bus then and their faces were priceless after that one!!)
Best Away Match
League win at Dens, and Cup final 1994.
Ever Cried at a Game
Cup final 1994.
Proudest United Moment

See above - and getting to hold the cup with our ribbons on it inside Hampden - superb moment.

Furthest You've Travelled to Watch United
I was knackered on the Sunday, but the free train made up for that (thanks for the lift home Andy).
Favourite English Team
Soft spot for Notts Forest.
Most Disliked Team
Liverpool.
Most Prized United Possession
Guido's gloves from '94 cup final (complete with tear in the thumb) signed by the great man himself.
Statto Fact
My picture is on the wall in the Ivan Golac suite holding the Scottish Cup. The scarf I wear was given to me by Ralphie Milne on the day Utd were 4-1 up on Celtic at half-time in 1986.
