'I get asked how I've ended up here': Ex-Manchester United player working on building sites
When Lee Roche made his Champions League debut for Manchester United two decades ago, he expected a long football career ahead of him.
“I have had a few fellow workers on the building sites asking me about United and how have I ended up here,” he said. Now 42, he admits that he did not expect his career to end in the manner that it did, especially given the track record of academy players coming through the system at the Red Devils, The Mirror reports.
He told Planet Football: “I did okay, but I remember Sir Alex talking to me afterwards because Alan Shearer had beaten me at the far post to win a header, so he told me to get up first and not let the forwards do that to me.
