 MEET THE COMMITTEE - GLENN LUCAS

1) Can you tell us something about yourself (your personal life, age, marital status, work/profession)? What are your favourite past‑times apart from football? What was your favourite holiday destination? What are three words that describe you?

Born on the 8th of June 1987, I’m 34 years of age, married to Stefania having 2 kids named Kane and Faye, 6 year old and 2 year old respectively.

Current Profession, Head of Administration within OK Group of Companies. Qualified in Management, Marketing and Insurance.

Apart from football, one of my favourite hobbies is travelling. Visited a vast of European countries however for so many reasons Italy and Switzerland still rank top in my list.

2) How did you start supporting United? What is your best memory of United? How many times have you visited Old Trafford? Who is your favourite current player and club legend? If there was one thing you could change at United, what would it be? If you were Man Utd manager and had an unlimited budget, which player would you bring to

United and why? Which team would you support if Man Utd did not exist?

My father’s passion for football of course influenced me to support United. Started to support United at the young age of 9 year old. Actually it was a first disappointment as I watched the team being eliminated in the 1997 Champions League Semi‑Final against Borussia Dortmund, eventually winning the cup at the end. This defeat and elimination haven’t stopped me from continuing to follow and support United. unique Treble in 1999 still remains intact, even though it has been over 22 years now. Winning the Double in 2008 and marking the 20th Premier League title in 2013 also rank high in the list of honours.

I have visited Old Trafford a few times now, aiming to visit at least once or twice a year in the much awaited better future. However the recent pandemic has kept us home for nearly two years now. My all‑time favourite players are Scholes and Giggs. One thing I would change at United are the owners together with their current management administering the club, clearly showing lack of football knowledge and solid leadership in the industry.

The next step forward is that of acquiring a new manager in the coming months, I sincerely hope the best decision is taken in the interest of the club and the supporters.

A club with the greatest history on the planet must challenge for silverware every single year.

I cannot see myself supporting any other team other than United especially English teams, from which I experienced so much hate towards us during our domination early 90’s and late 00’s, which is also one of the reasons I do not follow the England National Team.

If United haven’t existed, however, growing up in the 90’s at home, we used to follow Italian TV stations and football TV programs at that time, namely the famous ‘novantessimo minuto’ and ‘Quelli che l’Calcio’ and must admit that I have a soft spot for Inter.

Must have been because I have the other half of my family supporting Inter: my mum and my brother. 3) What attracted you to join the Supporters’

Club? What made you contest the Committee election? Describe your role in the club.

Why would you recommend a United supporter to join the world’s oldest Man

Utd supporters’ club?

I’ve been a member of our Supporters’ Club for 10 years now, committee member for nearly 3 years. My current role within the committee is that of Advertising Executive & Sports Coordinator.

Since football is my passion, I used to meet up once a week playing a 5‑a‑side matches with my United friends, namely Kevin and Clint. After some discussions I expressed my interest to join the committee. I always admired the hard work by committee members and the truly professional attitude they undertake duties besides managing to keep a solid committee group ongoing.

Togetherness is the key of this strong committee of whom I can proudly call family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our President, Joseph Tedesco who has succeeded in leading this group forward striving for positive results year after year.

I encourage all Manchester United supporters both locally and overseas to join our club, the oldest in the world, helping us to keep our focus in serving all our members in the best possible way, and being able to follow all United games at our Club, one of the best venues in the Island. Moreover to participate in any future events that arise from time to time besides all the benefits our membership holds in itself.

I will never want Manchester United to be second to anybody. Keep supporting our beloved team in good and bad times, keep the red flag flying high cause Man United will never die. Glory Glory Man United.
