Biography: He started his United career as understudy to Gary Bailey but he struggled to get a regular place in the starting line, and was sent to Middlesbrough for first team experience. After becoming a Fans' Favourite, they failed to match United's £80,000 asking price and he finally got a chance when Bailey broke a finger.
