A record 41,208 crowd witnesses a final day of twists as United seal top spot in style.
A record crowd of 41,208 packed into Northgate Park on a frantic final day, and they were rewarded with drama from the first whistle to the last.
With three clubs still able to finish top, every goal elsewhere sent ripples around the ground. Supporters tracked events on phones and radios as the table changed hands four times in ninety minutes.
United did their part with a 3-0 victory, and when news filtered through of results elsewhere, the celebrations began long before full-time. Scarves twirled, songs echoed, and the famous old ground shook.
It was a reminder of what makes this sport special: an entire city holding its breath together, then exhaling as one. Days like this are why the record keeps falling.
