After Luke Chadwick joined us last week, we're sticking with the Manchester United theme by revisiting the time we read Gary & Phil Neville's jointly-written 'For Club & Country'. The highlight of which was their *genuine* trip to the cinema with Sir Alex Ferguson to watch Spiceworld: The Movie. Plus the Man United dressing room ponder over whether Princess Diana was the best looking woman in the world.
