FOOTBALL HAS pretty much drawn to a halt globally (although Wes Hoolahan and Roy O’Donovan were involved in an A-League fixture this morning), leaving many fans at loose end.
Thankfully, Sky Sports have paid a visit to the archives and dug out two classic matches from 20 years ago for a special broadcast of Monday Night Football.
The retro edition will see Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher look back at the 2000/01 campaign — focusing on Leeds United v Liverpool and Manchester United v Arsenal.

February of the same campaign saw Manchester United hand Arsenal a 6-1 drubbing at Old Trafford. Dwight Yorke scored a hat-trick to help Alex Ferguson’s men on their way to a seventh title in nine years.
Neville was in the United team that day alongside the likes of Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
