  Tuesday 8th February 2000 : A teddy for Wanny?

U's Net reader and Moosenet FC manager Peter Laborne made a presentation to Paul Wanless after Saturday's match, but it is probably the first time the U's skipper has been presented with a cuddly toy!

United's PR manager Graham Eales then commented on how amusing it was seeing Wanny being presented with a teddy bear and Paul expressed his gratitude to everyone before leaving to re-join his family.
