Best/worst - A Friday afternoon game

[Linz]

It used to be the case that Friday afternoon's were the highlight of the irreverence around the forum. So let's carry this on

Someone posts a one-word subject and the responder has to reply with the best and worst examples which are United related before posting a subject of their own.

So, let's kick it off with:

Haircuts

Weather

Best - Liverpool (H), Boxing Day 1993 - 0-0. A beautiful, crisp (but not freezing) and sunny afternoon, with the gentlest of breezes. Just a shame that Flo and Whitehouse cocked the day up with the softest of soft offside goals, as witnessed from the opposite end of the ground on the John Street Stand .

Worst - Reading (A), August 1996 - 0-1. There have been umpteen dismal rainstorms, snow, hail and general horribleness which could qualify, but this was the other end of the spectrum.

Eight or nine of us in a boneshaker of a van, with windows which were almost fully jammed. The only other ventilation was through a hole in the floor, or of the human kind. Add to that warm beer, and several sweating out the previous night's curries and kebabs, and you can imagine.

Tropical heat and humidity, relentless sun, and uncovered stand, and we lost, to be followed by another week's travel back. Well, it felt like it, anyway. Horrible, horrible day.

Headers ...

Hard one that. Good referees aren't always noticed. I won't even attempt it, but I've a feeling Poll might appear. Or Styles. Actually, we could be here a while..
