The Class of 92 | “If you got the balls wrong they’d annihilate you”

  • Summary

  • Paul and Nicky take us back to their early days as young kids trying to make it at Manchester United.


    They discuss whether they like the ‘Class of 92’ tag, how hard it was to make it as a young pro and what they thought of their team-mates: which player is like Benjamin Button? Who was discovered by the dad of a famous actor? And who did they consider to be the best player among them?


    Nicky reveals how he almost signed for another club and how an alternative career came to an abrupt end, they recall the tough love they received from youth coach Eric Harrison and the initiations they had to do in front of the first team.
