It is almost 8 years on since the best corporate jolly that I am ever likely to experience
I was lucky enough to be amongst the 90,000 crowd at the Nou Camp, Barcelona, for Manchester United's greatest achievement in modern times.
Solskjaer's late winner still sends shivers down my spine even though I have no affilation whatsoever with Man Utd.
The fact that Sir Alex Ferguson has guided his current squad to within touching distance of another treble is testament to his drive and the power of the Man Utd brand.
I hope that they can negotiate the final hurdle in the San Siro this evening, and on paper the task sounds more than manageable - avoid defeat an they will be in Athens.
Any regular readers of this blog will know I have been against Man Utd in their last couple of outings and but for a couple of trademark comebacks I would have been right in my belief that they were running on empty.
The beauty of trading in running on www.betfair.com has meant that I have been able to profit from United's first half woes against Milan in the 1st leg and at Goodison on Saturday despite their 2nd half heroics.
Can they muster one more effort tonight and justify odds of 1.68 to qualify?
