JESPER BLOMQVIST!

After a foot injury ruled him out of the first month of the season, Blomqvist made his debut against Charlton Athletic in a convincing 4-1 victory. However his good display went somewhat unnoticed, due to the off-field activities at board room level capturing all the news headlines. He has since been a regular member of the squad and he scored his first League goal for United on 31st October 1998 in a 4-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Blomqvist is a Swedish international who was included in the squad for the 1994 World Cup in the USA. His pace, skill and eye for goal have drawn comparisons to United's own Ryan Giggs. Nevertheless, Blomqvist is quick to stress that although Giggs has influenced him, he is a player in his own right. "Ryan Giggs was one of my inspirations when I was a young player, but now I think I must find my own inspiration." This can only be good news for all concerned with Manchester United. Did You Know? Jesper was voted Sweden's Player of the Year in 1993. When he was a youngster, football did not feature in Jesper's career ambitions. Apparently he wanted to be an airline steward! Jesper's girlfriend is also a talented footballer.
