MUST Chair
Nick's a lifelong southern Red whose first United memory as a kid was a newspaper front page in 1966: George Best coming down the steps of an airplane with a sombrero on his head under the headline "El Beatle!" having just beaten Benfica practically single handed. United and the Beatles - what glamour, what a decade!
His first game was Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 1971. United won 2-1 with goals from Gowling and Willie Morgan (no Georgie though - never saw him).
On growing up, Nick went to Oxford and studied law, then straightaway afterwards joined a rock band with some friends, including a guitarist who played with Ugly Rumours, Tony Blair's band. (He's always been well-connected!). After failing to make No 1 (much less TOTP), he went back to law with tail between legs but at least "got it out of his system" (or so he tells us).
A lawyer specialising in corporate law in emerging markets, Nick's been with SU/MUST since the SUAM campaign, poking people with a legal stick occasionally and generally getting in the way. Having spent much time among the good and humorous people of Manchester et ses environs, he feels he's accurately described by the line "lifelong, soft, southern git; middle-class ponce, knob head Red".
