Manchester United lost a surprise game behind this game, there is a reunion spanning 77 years

In 77, the "Red Devils" wrote countless glory, while Greensby FC hesitated in the low-level league, but Hall's love for the home team has never faded.

In the early morning of August 28, a big upset broke out in the second round of the English League Cup this season. "Red Devils" Manchester United drew 2-2 with the English League Greensby FC in a 90-minute regular time and lost to the opponent in the subsequent penalty shootout.

Grinsby FC posted this game poster on its official social media account.

This unpopularity has caused the "Red Devils" who have been sluggish in recent years to be "shamed" again, and has also made the Greensby FC home court, Brandell Park Stadium, which can accommodate 9,000 fans, completely boiling, making Greensby, a coastal town with only more than 80,000 residents a sea of ​​joy.

In fact, being able to fight against the "Red Devils" again is a glory for Greensby FC - they have been playing in the low-level league for many years, and the last time they played against Manchester United was in 1948.

96-year-old Greensby FC fan Jonathan Hall was the witness of that game.

"Even at my age, my heart will still be rippled (for this game)." Before this game, Hall said with emotion to the British media that he was both excited and a little emotional. For a long time in his life, he once gave up the hope of seeing his beloved team play against the "Red Devils".

As a long time ago during the distant World War II, Hall fell in love with the team nicknamed "Sailors". He recalled that from the 1946 to 1947 season, he came to Brandell Park Stadium for the first time to cheer for the Greensby FC.

In an interview with Greensby FC official website, the scene of that year was vivid. "I stood in the old Barlett stands. When the players entered the court, the audience began to stomp their feet on the wooden floor. The sound was like thunder! I think I will remember it forever."

Hall's father was a British Air Force during World War II and became a nurse in the small town of Greensby after the war. Hall admitted that his love for Greensby FC came from his father. In every home game, the father and son will go to Brandell Park Stadium together, leaving too many memories, including the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at home on March 17, 1948.

Hall described that Greensby FC, who was fighting in the top league at that time, was "the most insignificant team in the big league." Also in 1948, he also went on a road game, witnessing the team being hit 8-0 by Arsenal.

For more than 77 years since then, the "Red Devils" and "Gunners" have ushered in waves of glory, while the Greensby FC team struggled in the low-level league. Hall himself has also experienced careers such as football club staff, train drivers, music teachers. In the 1960s, Hall studied child psychology at the University of Birmingham and after earning his Ph.D., he opened a psychological clinic in his hometown. Today, the old man with rich experience is still teaching neighborhood practice Tai Chi and yoga.

Grisby forward Kabia communicated with Hall in the stands of Brandal Park Stadium. What has not changed in 77 years is that firm love for Greensby FC.

"I used to think I can't wait again."

Fortunately, this season, Greensby FC defeated Shrewsbury, who was also in the League Two, 3-1, in the first round of the League Cup, and got the chance to meet the "Red Devils" again.

Hall said before the game that he would be satisfied to see his beloved team fight against the "Red Devils". Now, Greensby's performance of eliminating strong opponents will definitely make him happier.

After this magical game, the home team fans flocked to the stadium to enjoy this beauty with the players. Forward Winham, who scored a goal in the game, said excitedly: "My daughter was born 10 months ago. That was the most important moment in my life. At this moment, it was the second happiest moment in my life."
