Quinton Fortune was never able to nail down a regular place at Manchester United, but the South African star will forever be grateful he just had the chance to play at Old Trafford.
The winger, now 45, spent seven years under Sir Alex Ferguson after signing for the newly crowned treble winners in 1999. In three of the next four campaigns that followed he appeared in a title winning team, but only in 2002/03 did he play enough games to be deemed worthy of a medal.
But Fortune's story runs deeper than that of a bit-part player at one of the world's biggest clubs. His £1.5 million move came via a stint at Atletico Madrid, but, more significantly, following a childhood where threats to his life were never far away.
