Sharpe was absolutely unbelievable in the 90-91 season, then we added Kanchelskis in the following season when we finised runners up to Leeds and then Giggs came in to play on the left and the wing situation looked out of this world, then Sharpe just fell off the radar and as a kid I remember waiting and waiting for his big return but it never really happened.
Sharpey still looks so young , what a player
He's lost weight and looks better. Good for 50+
Shows how tough it is to be an elite footballer. The pressure must be immense. Just to get there is against the odd. Stay well Lee
I dont agree totally with that. Ferguson singled him out. That is manifestly out of order.
What a player Lee was
Brilliant at Plainmoor
One of my first football kits was the Black Man Utd away kit (Sharp viewcam) with Sharp 5 on the back. To be a kid again. Happy times.
I have the 1995/96 home shirt, with the background print of Old Trafford and shield around the club crest. No name or number on the back though.
United ruined 20 years of my Life from the 90s being a Liverpool supporter, but I'd admit for real, United were much more likeable early 90s and yes, that all black kit. In fact, all the kits with Sharp on them I liked.
@@LIVERNIL723 Well how do you think United fans felt in the '70s and '80s? when Liverpool were more or less 'untouchable' it works both ways. Liverpool at the mo, are well above United (on and off the field) even Spurs are too and one day they might swap places again, that's football.
Manchester City are my new problem now. Both occasions we hit beyond 90 points and we still finish runners up!@@pistonhedd
@@LIVERNIL723 They are fake and plastic, bankrolled by a dirty blank cheque. Money talks, that's why player wages have been through the roof for years. Back in the early days of the Premier League, the 100K+ a week salary was never heard of.
At the end of the day, Sharpey contributed to United's success.
Sharpey made a big contribution to the first 3 Premier League titles but had greater potential. Had he done as Fergy told him then who knows, he may well have stayed and added a Champions League. Also this is evidence that had Gazza come to United may be Sir Alex wouldn't have necessarily been able to keep him on the right track either.
I loved watching Sharpe growing up as a kid
Did you go to the same school?
Great player and really nice person Sharpe. 90/91 & 93/94 seasons were your very best mate.
Thanks for helping bring back the league title to Old Trafford after all them years.
People look at me funny when I say Sharpe could have started that 1999 European cup final. But, with suspensions and injuries. The fact he was a better player than Blomqvist and if he stayed at utd, who knows?
You have to see it Alex's way mate. You, Neil Webb, Dwight Yorke and so on. Its just the way it was.
Bruce was a real legend too and a fantastic captain!
Do you know, the god's honest truth in the early 90s era was Lee was my favourite United player for a non-United supporter and a Liverpool one too. He was Sparkling!
I clearly remember nearly all the non United fans I knew at the time said their favourite Utd player was Lee Sharpe.
Wow! You can see, he's still feeling the pain...of leaving the greatest football club of all time...I still remember his equaliser against Barca at Old Trafford, the first time I ever saw a goal like that!
Bit of a comedown for the kid, going from Manchester United to Leeds.
"the greatest football club of all time" I cant remember Sharpey playing for Real Madrid?
@@fargodavilleitnotd6729 Real might have more Trophies...fans, better stadium, great players, more money, prestige, history...
yeah but what did the romans ever do for us hey? ;)@@the-gang-of-wolves
The problem is it was self inflicted. If he hadn’t been a dick he wouldn’t have been sold.
If only we had a player like Sharpie in the team now. Great player, but he can't grumble. Fergie was 'The Boss'.
Loved sharpy. Great player on his day but i think fergie had to keep at him because he could see he was very easily let to being unprofessional. Mustn't have been great for him getting pelters all the time but you can see what happened when he left us and how his career slipped (Injuries aside).
Fondly remebered by us reds anyway. His volley against everton and perfromance against villa were pure 90s gold. Shame it didnt quite work out eventually for him. Some wingers we had then sharpy, giggs and the human bullet Andre kanchelskis. Great memories
Awww yeh, I was so pleased for Sharpey with that classic Villa game, and that goal against Barcelona…….
Well done sharpie calling him out for disrespecting you as a man not just a player!
when theres a corner of the hacienda named after you because you spent so much time there, i reckon you gave fergie an easy option to drop you. wasted talent, really liked sharpy
I thought he was mental for putting in a transfer request, but looks as tho sharpe had enough and felt he had to go and maybe Fergie thought he’d served his usefulness, which looking at what happened after is probably true
I Really liked Lee but Alex was tactical and tough.
A very good player Lee a nice guy to boot no respect for good players like Lee when they come to the end their playing career
Sharpie’s one of the only players I’ve heard criticise Fergie. His career never went anywhere after he left.
Surely you've heard his most successful captain criticise him?
Let's remember
Lee was clubbing it, girls, drinks the lot, I used to see him out all the time - so fergie was a tyrant but he just wanted players to realise we're they were Man U - biggest club in the world
Behave !!!!!!
Who wasn’t?
Apart from Gary did any player not end up hating Ferguson?
Van nisterooy, evra, van persie, Schmeichel, Irwin, pally, Bruce, park, Ronaldo, O'Shea, Vidic, may, butt, Scholes, van der saar, de gea, brown, Welbeck, Cantona. Need i go on
Keane!
Keane, I suspect, but he doesn't like to talk about it.
@@ronaldofenomino857 oh one whole player. Wow
@@divinity176😂
Sharpy is a legend
Sharpy back in the day I was a few years younger him and young Giggs on the wings great players
Sharpey can dance 🕺
When you used to see him most weekends in Manchester nightclubs pissed up you could see he was a good time Charlie. You have to take some of the blame yourself Sharpey
Fergie asked him to play left back so Irwin could be right back. As much as we loved Lee Sharpe he wasn't Ryan Giggs. Should've bit the bullet and ruined the Nevilles careers
Lee Sharpe was the original Fergie Fledgling years before the class of 92.
Ferguson was the greatest club manager with brilliant man management skills but with Lee it does seem like it was personal his treatment of him. He wanted him out but did it in very underhanded way unfortunately.
Not true, fergie wanted him to stay, sharpey handed in a transfer request
@@eoinmurtagh1441 he probably wanted him to stay, but mainly on the subs bench.
Pretty childish, that. Sharpe was always going to be a goner because Fergie had better players both as regulars and coming through from the academy.
Super player sharpey.
ferguson did that alot ,wanted players to be loyal to the club & him as manager ,but not so much towards his players , if they disagreed with him or he didnt like there life style or life choices ,he got rid of them , beckham , stamp ,hughes ,van nistleroy & keane ,theyed turn up to training & be told weve had an offer & weve excepted ,they were out
As far as players go he was loyal to the club not the player
@@hod2116 Convince me Darren Ferguson was ever good enough to play for Man U and I'll accept SAF was loyal to the club. Or that David Moyes was a good enough manager for one of Europe's top teams...
The line would be no one is bigger than the club, but what he meant was no one is bigger than him. He was allowed to be bigger than the club. He has his name on a stand. He has a statue outside the ground. He got to choose his successor. And they haven't been successful since he left.
He's named as the sub for the 1996 cup final
At the time I rated him higher than giggs
Yep, better crosser and header
Ben Thornley was rated better than Giggs until he got his injuries
Not a chance.
@@MarkMckay-b3h where you even old enough to watch regularly in 1991/92
me too. giggsy was the better dribbler, but sharpe was more imaginative and a better crosser of the ball, he just generally stroke the ball better. OBviously giggsy ended up being the far, far superior player, but sharpe was as talented in many aspects of the game, but failed in the main one: he wasn't ambitious or driven.
I loved Lee but fergie was right, he was a waster, he had immense talent but he never got the right work ethic and professionalism. The fact that after united he basically languished in lower divisions is evidence enough, fergie tried his best to make of him the star his talent deserved, but Lee wasn't interested. I think deep down he must realize this and must be a source of immense regret.
Fergie wanted Lee to be more professional. He wasn’t so fergie got rid. End of. All Lee’s own fault.
Yeah, sounds like a personality clash between Fergie and Sharpey. You think to now how much power players have with their phones and social media, The 90s life seemed less complicated.
Ferries for ya
Abody giving fergie cheap shots now roy keane aswell,when hes an old man n just lost his wife,bams gave yous best careers you would ever had with any team.
Skint!
Ryan Giggs came along and that was that
Both of them could play on either side of the frontline. Sharpe probably could not handle the pressure.
So bitter. If he looked after himself v drinking alcohol in nightclubs
Well ferguson was right in this ocasion
ouch
He was canny things though, Ferguson would get rid of players and seem to time it to an attitude change towards them,he did the same thing with Beckham, but being ruthless on that side made him the top manager,he did keep scholes and giggs and afew others around though so it wasn't a lack of duty to his players.
Still Manchester United players have always been their own group,we should have not picked any of them for the England squad and stayed away from Chelsea players, we'd probably have done better at the world cups and not seen our national teams being so useless at the biggest tournaments
Sounds like your own fault. It was your job. Plus i never remember a game where he played a blinder. He was a stand in player.
Sharpe had bags of natural ability, all the tools to succeed but just seemed to give up. After Man United, his career dropped like a ton of bricks. Leeds, Bradford, Portsmouth, Exeter, Grindavik in Icelandic league (ground capacity 1,750) and the mighty Garforth.
Says all you need to know.
Wasted talent who didn’t achieve a fraction of what he should’ve.
Fergie was only trying to turn you into a dedicated player who could of won lots of medals, but you liked to party before hand
Stop going out, dancing onfield, and listen to the manager then you could of stayed. It's either he still doesn't see it as his fault!
You’re right that he might not have been the most professional player, but at this point multiple players have come out and talked about Ferguson being an overbearing manager who treated players really badly once he felt he was done with them.
@@monkeybudgethere’s also loads who say he looked after them when they left and how Fergie negotiated there contract at there next club on there behalf. The amount of player he had he can’t have been perfect with everyone
Ask yourself Lee..who faired better after you left? You or Fergie? Who made the right decision?
Great player but he liked to party too much. Beckham, Butt, Scholes all coming though. We even had Keith Gillespie early on as well. Sharpey just sounds bitter here. He had his time!!
End of the day, Sir Alex is arguably the greatest football manager that ever walked the earth. Simple. Whether Sharpey likes it or not
When this guy an actually looks into the mirror , and looks at his self and how he was acting….he may feel some peace and get over it.
Fergie was generally very good at getting rid of players at the right time - but when you're dealing with people who have contributed to past successes (or anyone, just because they're human), why do you consistently need to be such a d about it?
jesus how can you still be milking this story ?
Sir Fergie was just trying to instil discipline on grown men.
That’s so sad the way it ended. I think Fergie should have respected Sharpy more.
Ferguson great manager but not a people person
How could he manager players personal lives.
@@Art-is-craft 🙄
Think fergy was jealous and a bully.
Jealous of Lee Sharpe?
@@AK-74K Of course Lee was good looking living the popstsr life with women cars partying etc.
He was doing all the things fergy couldn't do...simple as that..
@@Marlondurran One of the stupidest comments I have ever read. Why on earth would you think Fergie wanted that lifestyle?
@@AK-74K Because he is a horny Scottish citizen...is that a stupid answer?
This guy is just a United hater
Who gives a F---
Me
Poor mans Beckham?
Not really, Lee was a genuine footballer. DB was a dead ball specialist, couldn't play football to save his life.
What's done is done lol. As if he had any choice in the matter, he wasn't good enough for Utd in the Premier League age and wasn't even good enough to be in a top six team thereafter. If he was around today he'd be playing league one level at best.
A ridiculous video featuring a ridiculously arrogant man who thinks far too highly of himself and his footballing ability.
He was a great player who faded quickly due to poor discipline and lifestyle choices. But at his peak, he was awesome
Don’t remember that hat trick in the league cup at Arsenal? From 90-92 Sharpey was at his peak, but faded quickly with his lifestyle choices
Exactly my point. Pre premier league he was half decent, thereafter he was awful. You can put it down to lifestyle choices which certainly played a part. But as soon as the game rapidly increased in terms of skill, talent and professionalism, he was awful. His supposed peak was at a time when the standard of football in this country was atrocious, as soon as it increased he looked like what he was- a league two (old fourth division) player.
100% disagree...i reckon he would have thrived in modern game even more so with more focus on mental health and support...his constant smile hid huge anxiety, but he was fearless, strong, fast, skillfull and best consistent crosser of the ball I've seen.....I think in modern game with zero drink culture, he wouldn't even think about the nights out, he was at torquay at 15, and it was the culture, and continued at utd in late 80s....to say he wasn't good enough is bollox, but I think with all the injuries he fell out of love with the game....defo should have stuck it out at united, but I really think fergie tolerated Beckham better because of what happened with Sharpe...I'm not saying he wasn't blameless, but big injuries and meningitis at 19 definitely affected his career, and confidence, and I think an arm around the shoulder instead of bollockings at a young age would have been more beneficial....nearly 300 games and 36 goals, countless assists for united?! Was definitely good enough!
@@daryld4457
He was most certainly good enough but Ferguson could not stand the whole social life of footballers who liked to party. Giggs got the same ultimatum and message and responded in the right way.
