Days after CNN and BBC publicised Stretford-End.com’s letter to Wayne Rooney, we are delighted to announce that another high profile campaign started by the website has ended with the right result after Manchester United bought Nobby Stile’s medals at auction today.
Scores of our Twitter followers bombarded Rio Ferdinand and other media sources with our blog on the subject, and it seems the club listened to the outrage of supporters by purchasing his World Cup and European Cup winners medals at Convery Auctions in Edinburgh.
It is expected that the club will display the medals at the Old Trafford museum.
Stretford-End.com expresses its delight at the news.
Had the club initially said they weren’t going to buy them, then?
I’d like to think that players chipped in some money towards Nobby. A true gent and United hero.
