some superb records, keeping this here.

 Any chance you can move this to FANZONE.... It will get a lot more exposure from our overseas fans and I personally think it fits with the forum.. If you just add the words WHO-WHEN- WHAT it then becomes a quiz and can stay in fanzone.................great thread...

Pepe Chareetur:

Just to add to the records, I would like to point out that George Best scored 6 goals in a match against Northampton Town. That was back in the sixties when Northampton Town were in Div I of the English League.

Hi robi!

I saw this thread drifting towards the end, so I thought I'd rather do something before it gets removed.

Just to add to the records, I would like to point out that George Best scored 6 goals in a match against Northampton Town. That was back in the sixties when Northampton Town were in Div I of the English League.

I can't recall of any other Manchester United player who has scored more than 6 goals in a single match.

Cheers!

 To think that Denis Law still holds the record for the most goals scored in a season 

Most goals in a season

46 Denis Law 1963-1964

Not even Ronaldo could beat that.

bobby Charlton is a legend as well thats a crazy total amount of goals. 

Most Overall goals

249 Bobby Charlton

Giggs is just the best though so many apperances and so many medals and awards. 

It's interesting to compare our stadium attendances from the past to the present. You would think it was wierd that we had more back then but then you remember health and safety and the fact that you have to have seats these days etc. Still remarkable.

If only Munich hadn't happened, im sure Duncan would be up there somewhere.  

 

 

 

 

dont forget our stadium is about the biggest it has ever been when we had over 80000 watch it was at maine road because of teh bombing at old trafford so it was classed as a home game although we were playing on a different ground

Bump.

Bump.

Again, this thread contains many interesting facts and should remain here for long enough.

Bump!

great post, mate...

love it...

Pepe how are you?

ahh the original welsh wizard I dont think Giggs will break it in fact i dont think that record will ever be broken

Giggs is an amazing legend but that will be one record to far

Pepe I am in the process of creating some posts about legends I have done my first on about Sammy McIlroy have a look and please let me know what you think I am definately on board with improving the legends section as this is all about our great history

robi ! 

Your quote: [Oldest First Team appearence

                    Billy Meretith 46 years +281 days vs Derby County 7 May 1921]

Ryan Giggs is one of my all-time Manchester United favourites. He is setting all kinds of records.

I doubt if he can break Billy Meredith's ?

Cheers!

A post like this can only be altered when the records are broken. Other than that it must remain in here as long as the web site exists.

Very true, Pepe....We posters have to take the responsibility to keep this thread running.....It is a rare gem....
