Luke Chadwick racked up over 500 professional appearances and an immensely successful football career. But the majority of conversations he has - including this one - still revolve around his seven years at Manchester United and the 39 appearances he made under Alex Ferguson.

“I never get bored of it”, Chadwick says. “I’m not naive to think anyone would know who I am if I hadn’t been lucky enough to represent the club and it’s something I’m very proud of. I’m really grateful. The life lessons I learned helped shape the person I am today.”
