I still remember buying this from the local Woolworths many years ago as a kid
 

Brilliant that, I was 11, went berserk lol


I was 10, and I also went berserk. I was living in Milton Keynes at the time. All the kids were plastic Man Utd fans. I spent all summer basking in that cup win.

Amokachi will always be a borderline legend for me. Simply because of the huge role he played in our last trophy win.
 

Happy Birthday Amo. I never wanted a player to succeed more. Although he never quite hit the heights will always remember the 2 goal cameo in the semi (followed by another brace against Newcastle shortly after).

I bear no physical resemblance to the man but used to get called Amokachi at school in Yorkshire because of my Everton top and playing upfront.
Maybe not the highest of heights, or the greatest of greats, but people always forget (especially when slagging them off) just how exceptional any pro-footballer is who makes it at that level. He's one of the players I'll always have a special place in my heart for (Rideout and co) cause I was about 11 when we won the FA cup. An impossible feat really giving that united team, and gah we just clung on for dear life in that final! I can still visualize the goal in my mind because when I was younger I watched replays of that match so many times!

Happy Birthday, Amo.
