Ronnie Wallwork
Born in Newton Heath, Ronnie Wallwork joined the Manchester United Academy straight from school at the age of sixteen. The granite hewn defender went on to make his league debut for the club when he came on as a substitute in a 7–0 victory at home to Barnsley in October 1997, but the versatile player never managed to establish himself in the first team under Alex Ferguson and he made only 28 appearances during his stay at Old Trafford.

Alan Gowling
Born in nearby Stockport, Alan Gowling made his First Division debut for Manchester United in a convincing 4–2 victory away to Stoke City in March 1968. Strong and deceptively quick for a big player, the dynamic forward made a total of 87 appearances for Manchester United before new manager Frank O´Farrell sold him to newly relegated Second Division Huddersfield Town for a transfer fee of £65,000 at the end of the 1971–72 campaign.

Denis Law
An Aberdeen local, Denis Law initiated his career playing for Aberdeen Lads Club before he left the Granite City to team up with Huddersfield Town in 1955. The Law Man soon became an automatic selection and Matt Busby reputedly wanted the forward to play for Manchester United but was turned down and instead he went to bitter rivals Manchester City who paid a record transfer fee of £55,000 for him in March 1960.
