What Year Did You Start Supporting United
1983
Why United
Couldn't get through to Glasgow to watch the green half of the city (my Dad used to be a Celtic fan) so we used to get a lift up to Dundee to watch United with a friend of my Dad's.... Arabmania followed!
First United Match
A League Cup Semi Final match versus Rangers at Tannadice about 1984. A 1-1 draw, Davie Dodds scored for United.
Favourite All-Time Player
Maurice Malpas. Was just establishing himself as a regular as I started going to the matches.

Most Memorable Goal
Unlike everyone else, it's not Brewster's Cup winner as I never saw it, was in the bog at the time! Would have to be the "goal" that never was that Paddy Connelly scored against Partick Thistle, 1992-93.
Best/Favourite Goal
Iain Ferguson, from the half way line against Hearts 1986.
Regretted Missing a Game
The Semi Final replay against Aberdeen in 1994. Missed the bloody bus!
Favourite Away Ground
Motherwell.
Worst Away Ground
Ibrox.
Best Home Match
Barcelona 1987 or Roma 1984. Seeing all these world class players at Tannadice, and getting played of the park!
Best Away Match
v. Rangers at Ibrox. Won 3-2 after being 2-0 down. One of Richard Gough's last games for United.
Ever Cried at a Game
Too many to mention!
Proudest United Moment

Winning the Scottish Cup in 1994 and the U.E.F.A. Cup Final are on a level par.

Travelled to Andorra in 1997 where United won 8-0.
