I had the nightmare of living on Sir Matt Busby Way, when I worked in Manchester for 6 months being a Leeds United supporter. Its nice to see that "the scum" days of winning the league year after year are finally over.

), I used to serve the players and directors, who all knew i supported Everton. Not an easy thing to own up to, considering they had the treble at the time and Everton were languishing (as they are now) at the bottom!! At least Bill Kenworth was proud of me
