Darren Fletcher

"Oh he would run 500 miles,
And he would run 500 more,
Just to be that man who might just score,
To be that man Darren Fletcher...."


Few years back, he was just another fringe player at Manchester United. Warming up the bench most of the time, only got to come onto the pitch as a substitute or when there were injuries to first team players.

Now, he is regarded as one of the most important player in the team. With his incredible work rate and no nonsense tackle. He is the Red Devil's latest midfield general.

He might not be the most good looking player like Beckham or C. Ronaldo. But his never-say-die attitude on the pitch has won him many praises.



He has been in tremendous form this season, controlling the midfield for United whenever he played. He kept Lampard quiet during their last match against Chelsea. But was unfortunate to be given a foul against Ashley Cole that led to Terry's winner. But he quickly put that behind him. In their latest match last night against Everton, he produced another convincing performance that led United to a comfortable 3-0 victory at Old Trafford. Scoring a sweet volley from the edge of the penalty box in the process, probably his best goal for United so far.
