David Healy

Is David Healy the future of NI - Advantages: Bravery, eye for goal, blistering pace - Disadvantages: lack of height, not enough first team oppertunities, missed his chance for the big time

He’s H-E-A-L-Y He’s H-E-A-L-Y He gets a ball and scores a goal He’s H-E-A-L-Y You know when you’ve got a team on the verge of the Premiership, your goal-scoring heroes become a little more pleasing on the eye. Gone are the gap-toothed and bald, (Andy Saville), the old farts (David Eyres), blokes with bad comb-overs and the greasy-haired Elvis wannabes (Tony Ellis). Eek I’ve just sworn. (He played for the tangerine scum, Blackpool as well y’know). Shaven-headed and bushy browed, he is so attractive that you can forgive disorganised bum fluff on his face as soon as he opens his mouth. He has the sexiest ...  Read the complete review

I rate David Healy very highly and even though I am not a Manchester United fan I can’t believe that Alex Ferguson let him go, he has the potential to go all the way. On his debut for United he hit the post, he’s quick and really lively and will score goals. Although, he very rarely made it into the United first side he became a regular international for Northern Ireland and he’s scored 6 or so goals already. Some of his goals have been excellent and even though he’s so young he’s already shown that his got the talent and the maturity to match anyone. So, I was rather surprised when Alex Ferguson sold him to Preston North ...  Read the complete review

Manchester United have something special in this young lad but I fear that unless he starts to get at least semi-regular first team football he will want to find a new club. I am at a loss as to why Alex Ferguson has not given him his chance at the big stage yet. The league cup tie at Sunderland was the perfect opportunity yet Fergie frustrates all David’s followers by leaving him on the bench and only giving him a sniff of action at the end, by which time it was too late (although Healy did very well in the short space of time he got). The game against Liverpool would also have been a good time to give Healy his break. I can understand Ferguson not wanting to ...  Read the complete review

So with 3 out of 4 of Man United's top strikers injured, is David Healy going to finally be given his chance after all these years. After all, he is an international for Northern Ireland, but is still only in the Man U reserve side. I feel that he could be a great player for Man United, and yet another Youth Prodigy produced by Ferguson's brilliant Youth Scheme. He is simply a quality player, with good pace, stregth and a good eye for goal. He has been a sensation in the Youth team, bit now at the age of 21, he really needs to be given the chance if he is really to fulfil his undoubted potential. He has the making of a brilliant player and ...  Read the complete review
