FAN OF THE WEEK

Posted on: Thu 15 Dec 2005

Darren HaneyDarren Haney has missed only one home game in 15 years - and that was for his sister's wedding. He even planned his own wedding around a match . . . and ended up winning £600 on the Golden Gamble!

These days he goes to enormous lengths to make sure his shiftworking fits around games at Brunton Park.  And he still takes is as many away games as he can. No wonder his friend Craig Milne, who nominated him as our latest Fan of the Week, says: "He is a top, top man and a super fan of United."

Darren, 35, lives in Waver Lane, Wigton - in a house which has a whole room dedicated to United memorabilia (including, in our picture, the shirt Paul Conway wore when we won the Fourth Division championship at Colchester).
