Sir Alex Ferguson recieving his knighthood in 1999 resulted in Man United's tour of Australia getting slightly out of hand 😂 MUFC
Boozy all-nighters, sleeping in training, and Roy Keane’s fight with Peter Schmeichel – Manchester United’s crazy pre-season tours of Australia and Asia had it allA pre-season tour is the ideal opportunity for players to get their fitness back and to play football in a part of the world that’s totally different from the usual cold Tuesday night in Stoke grind.
The tour started reasonably calmly as Man United, fresh from their heroic treble-winning season, beat a weakened Australia side 2-0 at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the turf being specially converted into a football pitch. “We were stretching on the pitch, then I heard someone snoring,” revealed Butt. “It was Yorkey. He’d fallen asleep.
“But after 20 minutes my head was starting to spin. I was relieved when we started to do some stretches and thought I’d take the opportunity of lying down for a minute to stretch. Big mistake. Within two seconds I was fast asleep. “I was on the lookout for one in particular who I’d been told would be there – Gabby Richens, one of the hottest babes in Australia,” Yorke said.
