Craig Bellamy has revealed he 'never' felt like leaving Newcastle United for Manchester United - even if Sir Alex Ferguson wanted him.
Bellamy was named the PFA Young Player of the Year after scoring 14 goals in his first season at Newcastle and the Wales star's performances certainly did not go unnoticed. In fact, in 2002, Bellamy was phoned by Eric Harrison.
Harrison was the assistant to Mark Hughes with the Wales national team and also happened to be an ally of Sir Alex's after bringing through the Class of 92 among others as Manchester United's former youth team manager. Harrison told Bellamy that Sir Alex had asked him to call the striker and wanted to know who the Wales international's representatives were.
