Lee Sharpe may not have envisaged the glory he would go on to enjoy under Sir Alex Ferguson when he joined Manchester United in 1988, given the Scot’s rocky start to life at Old Trafford. But he almost certainly wouldn’t have predicted the different career bases he would touch after retiring from football.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sharpe made his United debut in September 1988 after switching from Torquay United, going on to make 265 appearances, scoring 36 goals and lifting seven major trophies.<\/p>\n

In between, he was named the PFA Young Player of the Year for the 1990\/91 season and played an important role at the start of Sir Alex’s era of dominance.<\/p>\n

Sharpe produced many a memorable moment in red, including his strike against Legia Warsaw en route to the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup.<\/p>\n

His hat-trick against Arsenal in the League Cup and delightful backheel against Barcelona in the Champions League three years later wasn’t bad either.<\/p>\n

And his United career may very well have been extended if it wasn’t for the emergence of young prodigies named Ryan Giggs and David Beckham in the early ’90s.<\/p>\n
