Description

Rich Williams, Mark Holmes, Pete Farries and comedian Danny McLoughlin huddle together to remember the resurgence of Manchester United and the man who helped kickstart it – Cristiano Ronaldo.

 

Former United youngster Eddie Johnson joins us on the phone and gives us the lowdown on CR7’s arrival, including those first few training sessions and the then-wonderkid's fashion faux pas.

 

We finish with another episode of Football Fact or Fiction in which Rich tries to guess which of the many unlikely stories about Ronaldo is, in fact, true.
