Jason McAteer has revealed to his Twitter followers, most of whom are probably Liverpool fans, that he once had an unsuccessful trial with Manchester United in 1985.
Growing up, McAteer would have had trials at several professional clubs and one of those was the Manchester giants.
It wasn't to be for then-14-year-old Irishman, though, and he would have to go elsewhere.
Thirty-two years later and McAteer managed to dig out the rejection letter and tweeted it to his 124,000 followers.
