STEVE BRUCE

Daz Costello: “I see Steve Bruce's header and him lifting our first league title with Robbo at Old Trafford after beating Blackburn 3-1, with Pally bagging a free-kick in the last minute, meaning everyone had scored that season too.”

David Reid: “Steve Bruce, the captain, with the headed winner vs Sheffield Wednesday. That was an iconic moment.”

Ricky Roberts: “Steve Bruce is the first person to mind. With the league trophy in hand wearing that red-and-white truckers cap. What a team we had back then.”

ERIC CANTONA

Marshall Florvil: “The illustrious, one-and-only Eric Cantona of course, with the number seven and his collar always lifted up.”

Nebiat Wubshet: "The man with the collar up, wearing number seven as the King of the Theatre of Dreams. The man of few words, a playmaker, the one-and-only Eric Cantona!”

Pete Jenkins: “Eric Cantona transformed United back in the day. Can Bruno do the same now? So far, so good!”
MARK HUGHES

Meran Ahmad: “I’ve wanted this kit for years. It was the first kit I remember as a kid when I was three or four. Mark Hughes is the one that comes to mind. He was an absolute hero!”

Helge Ekeseth: “Mark Hughes was the first to my mind and THAT goal against Oldham at Wembley… it was just brilliant! What a player he was for us.”

Jason Kane: “Mark Hughes! Incredible player and tough as old boots.”

BRYAN ROBSON

Hardip Ghattaora: “Bryan Robson! Captain Marvel as he was named. A player who gave his all before some of the other superstars came to United!”

David Gregg: “Bryan Robson was the first to pop into my head, which was unexpected.... and I'm good with that!”

Ian Nielsen: “Bryan Robson. I'm still sad that he did not get a spot in the team for what would have been his swansong FA Cup final.”

MORE RETRO MEMORIES

David Stitson: “Paul Ince was my hero growing up and I’ve still got this shirt in large boys [size].”

Nick Ingram: “Lee Sharpe! Partly because of the sponsor and partly because of the celebrations.”

David Orrell: “Lee Sharpe for me. Doing the Sharpie shuffle at the corner flag!”

Tessa Hart: “I think of Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister, plus Ryan Giggs wearing what looked like two sizes’ too big – but he made me want the shirt with long sleeves.”
