Matthew Stephen Elliott, born Wandsworth. A centre-half for whom the word `imperious` was coined. A true United legend, Elliott was the rock on which United`s successful 1995/96 promotion challenge was built. Many claim that it was his sale to Leicester City, for a club record fee of £1.6 million, that heralded the start of United`s subsequent decline. In 2008 Elliott became assistant manager at Hednesford Town, followed by a spell as co-manager at Oadby Town, before becoming assistant manager at Stafford Rangers in October 2010. 18 Scotland caps.
