This bench was an integral part of the East Stand part of the Stretford End for over two decades before making way to a new era of the redeveloped stand in 1992. The Bench was salvaged from the re-development by the vendor’s family and has been in the family since leaving Old Trafford.
It sits two people and is made of wood and cast iron, painted in red. These were the executive seats of the day. The bench has been signed by ‘the King of the Stretford End’ Denis Law.
The story behind the bench was featured on MUTV. See below around the sixteenth minute.
