Darren Gibson and the mad rush to Bukit Jalil

Once that was done, I was whisked away into a van that Darren Gibson was seated in. A future United star I would say. I followed his transport for the ride back to the hotel. He complained about the weather.

Haha,i don’t blame him. Got a few questions of him as well. For him being an academy product, I asked him about how the academy helped him to get to where he is now. He complimented that the academy had good coaches and great facilities. Everything a young player needs to develop into a starlet. United's academy has always been known for producing young talents, going back to the days of the Busby Babes of Edwards, Charlton, Best to the Fergie Fledglings of Beckham, the Neville's ,Giggs and Scholes.

After arriving at the hotel I managed to get all of their autographs. Truly a highlight of the many highlight for the day. Thanks Lads.

Then it was time to get ready for the training session. The journey there was tiring.T he traffic really wasn't for the faint of heart. We eventually got to the stadium. I expected to be closer to the players. Was kinda dissapointed I wasn't allowed any closer to them.

Anyway I wasn't about to let a minor bump ruin my almost perfect day. Like the rest of the fans I was cheering, shouting and even Mexican-waving. Haha. Good times. Players played a mini match and they were kicking lumps out of each- other, especially Gary Neville. He really got stuck in. After the mini match, they started their warming down session and finished it with a lap of honor or some sorts by waving to the fans . They made their way to the tunnel and I was shouting to the players and they waved and smiled.

Seeing them train was a sight to behold. With Rooney's shooting accuracy and Scholes pin point passes. Thats why they're Champions!

Was on the way back to the hotel thinking to myself what a brilliant day it was. Got up-close with my heroes and got to cheer on the Mighty Reds with my Brothers in Red. Looking forward for what tomorrow will bring and also towards the big game against the Malaysian Tigers. Heard tmr I will be meeting a United legend. Till next time. Cheers and always Keep the Red Flag Flying High!
