TOM GRENNAN MANCHESTER UNITED
What was the first match you ever saw live?
My first game was Manchester United vs Bolton in 2003-04. It was Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut and we beat them 4-0. Sadly, because my dad wanted to be one of the first on the train home, we weren’t hanging about – we were from down south, in Bedford – and missed some of his magic when he tore them apart. I was absolutely fuming at him. I wasn’t happy, but I was pleased that we won. Going to Old Trafford was like going to heaven, walking into paradise. I loved it. It still feels the same when I go there now.
