Could berba be the new king ? He scores goals like Dennis law and is a genious at times like Cantona , If he carries on improving like this Id give him the title of KING!!!!

Its a great shame Nobby Stiles has to sell his Football memorabilia to raise money to leave his children . It would be a great jesture for some rich football fan to pay over the odds and donate them to the United museum or even an England museum. He was a fantastic servant for Manchester United and England a much underestimated player for both teams maybe the Glazers should buy them and put them where they belong so Nobby has the money and he and his kids can still go and admire them . But i won't hold my breath because emotionally thats the right thing to do and i don't think the glazers do emotions.
