Kowalski Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 He was certainly quite a prospect long before he came to us. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/oct/10/ben-thornley-manchester-united-giggs-scholes-beckham-drinking-book Quote
manc_don Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 Really nice, although gutting interview. I'd known a bit about him, but these things get lost among fans hyperbole and hysteria. Very sad to think what he could have achieved. Quote
Elgindon Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 Funnily enough,a Fergie documentary popped up recently,some of which i watched, and there was Thornley with the Giggs,Sharp,Beckham crowd training in the early days. Didnt realise he was so highly rated back then though,sickener for him... Quote
Ten Caat Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 I can barely recall any of his time with us....although to be fair for a few seasons around the millennium I had other things far more important going on in life to really pay much, if any, attention to football. Quote
manc_don Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 He was a total prick though. From reading the article, you can understand why Quote
TheDeeDon Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 From reading the article, you can understand why Yeah, he admits to not being in the best of places when he was with us, he started off so well at the time. I was always led to believe he was loaded through property development, which I now assume to be a pile of shyte. Quote
