I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I've ever had. I am disappointed that my playing days are at an end. However, it comes to us all and it's knowing when that time is and for me that time is now. ↗

Rest in peace 'Big Dunc'. Your feats will echo in eternity. ↗
