Good job they don't have a border post at Junction 19 on the M6 then!
THEY come from all over the world, but when a Malaysian man turned up at Manchester Airport and claimed to be a United fan officials smelt a rat. The 23-year-old, kitted out in a Reds shirt, stepped off a flight from Doha in Qatar on Boxing Day. He said he was in the UK to see his beloved team strut their stuff. But things went pear-shaped for him when he was asked to tell staff who his favourite United players were.
He got off to a good start by naming centre forward Wayne Rooney. But his luck ran out when he added Kaka, who plays for Italian giants AC Milan and Diego Maradona, who is now retired and coaches Argentina. His lack of Reds' knowledge, coupled with the fact his return ticket was for three months later, led officials to believe he had come to the UK to work illegally. He had also only booked a hotel room for one night and did not know the name of United's home ground. As a result, while his 'heroes' were putting Stoke City to the sword he was preparing for a flight home and was deported to Malaysia on December 27.
