A delighted Wes is pictured above as Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs
(out of shot) hold aloft the
Champions League trophy after United's
penalty shoot-out victory in the final against Chelsea
on 21st May 2008.
The action shot shows Brown keeping close tabs on Salomon Kalou. It was
a memorable season for both club and player, with Wes enjoying a place
in the starting XI more
often than at any time during his United career.
He played in 35 of the 38 league games as
United won the title as well
as being a regular in Europe.
