The Manchester United stadium (Old Trafford) was evacuated on May 15, 2016 due to a fake bomb error. I won’t go into detail because it was such a dreadful experience, especially after hearing about it on Twitter and seeing the stadium empty in front of you.
The story began the day before when I met up with a friend at The Lowry Hotel. It’s unusual for me to approach someone and introduce myself, but that day I was certain Mohammed didn’t need any introduction and would recognise me as soon as he saw me, and that’s exactly what happened.
Long story short, as we hadn’t seen each other in at least 15 years, I offered him my seats at Old Trafford and told him, “You can see Sir Alex from these seats!!” He sits fewer than ten rows in front of you.” He asked if I may take a photo with him, to which I answered, “Sure!” I don’t have any with him because I dislike selfies and would only have a formal photo if that happened, and we laughed about it.
That day, I was invited by a friend to watch the game from his suite, and while eating lunch, the U18 winners were being honoured, and guess who was honouring them? Yes, Sir Alex was passing by the lounge, and we got him at the entry for this gorgeous and memorable photo.
By the way, he was holding my business card, and Mohammed has yet to forgive me for all that happened.
