East Lancs former Man Utd players gather for Class of ’92 film

6:00pm Sunday 1st December 2013 in News

TWO graduates of English football’s most famous youth team were re-united with their former Manchester United colleagues at the world premiere of a film about the side.

Ex-United defenders Chris Casper, from Burnley, and John O’Kane, who lives in Darwen, were in London with the rest of the Class of ‘92 to watch the movie of the same name tonight.

It centres on the rise to fame of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt, who all played in the same youth team and went on to win the Champions League with the Red Devils in 1999.

Casper, who lives in Helmshore, and O’Kane played seven games each for United’s first team in the mid-1990s before moving to Reading and Everton respectively.

Casper, who attended St Theodore’s RC High School, is the son of Burnley legend Frank Casper.

The documentary, directed by Ben and Gabe Turner, features interviews with all the players plus United legend Eric Cantona, former prime minister Tony Blair and The Stone Roses’ bassist Mani.
