22 years to the day that David Beckham signed for Manchester United he and the rest of ‘Fergie’s Fledglings’ had a reunion.
They are probably the most famous youth team in English football. The Manchester United youngsters that won the FA Youth Cup in 1992 went on to backbone the successful senior team at Old Trafford for the next decade. And beyond. One of them, Ryan Giggs, is still playing for the Premier League champions while another, Phil Neville, is now one of David Moyes’ assistants.
Last night the Class of ’92 all went out in Manchester to catch up on old times. Beckham, 22 years to the day he became a pro, the Nevilles, Phil and Gary, Giggs, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt all look a little different to the famous picture with coach Eric Harrison but we’re sure United fans are happy to see the old band back together.

And in case you’re wondering who the last guy in the above picture is, it’s Terry Cooke, who never made the breakthrough at United. He was last spotted playing for Gabala in Azerbaijan.
