Following the success of the Phil Howden / York TV "Happy Wanderers" DVD earlier in 2005, a product that raised approximately £2,600 for York City Football Club, he plans another trip down memory lane.

As you all know, this year is the 10th Anniversary of that famous night in Manchester when the brave battling boys of York City turned over Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford, one of the great achievements in our history.

To celebrate the anniversary, Phil has got hold of a good quality copy of the 1995 video of the full match, which you may remember was sold in the Club Shop at the time. After some negotiations with Manchester United and Paul Doherty International (who filmed and produced the original), Phil has obtained the rights in order to re-edit the footage and re-release for sale to raise money for York City FC. A big thanks to both parties in Manchester for their kindness.

Never again do we have to listen to the condescending tones of the MUTV commentator and I trust Phil will correctly identify Paul Baker as being sent off.

Now you may ask yourself, "I have the video, why bother with the DVD?" Well, I hope the DVD version will attract you as City supporters as, although the footage has been taken from a video, it is pretty good quality. In addition, Phil has added replays and graphics which where strangely omitted from the original. All in all, it is a much more pleasurable watch than the original and with DVD technology you can easily skip on to your favourite bits of that night. As usual, Phil's faithful sidekick, Andrew Leathley, has designed another excellent cover for it!

The DVD will go on sale on the night of the anniversary itself (September 20th, York City v Dagenham & Redbridge). Pre-orders will be taken from the opening day of the season. The price is £12 and the DVD is 1 hour and 50 minutes long. Details of how to get hold of a copy of "Manchester United v York City - 10th Anniversary Re-Edit" can be found at the DVD's very own web page (thanks to Andrew Clayton!).

FERGIE AUCTION PLUS ANDY MC. Don't miss September 22 and an "Evening with Andy McMillan" in the York City FC Social Club (2 days after the 10th anniversary of the Man U 0 City 3 match). The evening will see the conclusion of an auction for a copy of the match DVD signed by Sir Alex Ferguson. Bidding is already underway. Make your bid (or advise of the maximum bid to be placed on your behalf) by any of the following methods, email Ian Tyssen,, or phone Ian (07814 143 593) or visit Ian at the Information Desk in the Club Shop at the home games against Altrincham (17/09/05) or Dagenham & Redbridge (20/09/05). Last bids will be accepted on the evening. Personally, I'd bid more for one signed by Alan Little.

Another project is planned featuring interviews with the key figures from the occasion, more details to follow.

Finally, and most importantly as its the main reason for the existence of these productions. All profits from the DVD's sale will go to the York City Youth Development Fund and the Centre of Excellence - a worthy cause in the difficult financial circumstances currently being experienced by our club.

Remember, its just £12. Payment can be done by cash in person or cheque made payable to "York Minstermen" and sent to Phil Howden, 1 Marmian Drive, Stockton-On-The-Forest, York, YO32 9UX.
