If the name John Carey is mentioned to most Manchester United fans today, the response is likely to be a blank stare together with a puzzled question of John who?

It was heard as late as last Saturday,  a cry of  “Lucky United”.  It’s said that luck evens itself out, but does it? Even when it always seems to favour  United? “It’s a quality that’s part of our history” says Sir Alex Ferguson.
