I hope you will forgive me another very personal message.

My mum, May, died today. She died peacefully and I was with her.

Over the many years I've contributed to this List I have rarely mentioned 
my mum for she was always in the background when it came to Manchester 
United. She did come with dad and myself for my very first match in 1954, 
but very rarely thereafter. She was happy for the two of us to be together, 
always making the butties and ensuring we had enough of everything 
(plasters, clean underpants - you know the score!). In May 1968 she came 
home from work with some fantastic news. She had been up to London Road 
station and bought us first class tickets on the Wembley special. That, as 
much as anything else, made the day perfect. She always wanted our days to 
be perfect.

Over the years a large number of you, from every corner of the world, have 
been to my mum and dad's house and sampled both their hospitality and my 
mum's cooking. She was always delighted to meet you and it added to the 
wonderful world which is 'our' Manchester United.

So I ask you to forgive me the personal message but she was truly somebody 
special. She may not have been to see the Reds often but she was always 
there with us. Like my dad she is now having a quiet word with her old pal 
Sir Matt. May they all enjoy a long and peaceful time together.

Keep the faith,       Pete
