Old Man United stars swap the pitch for the poker table

David May made history with his win at the Manchester United Poker Legends Challenge.

The former United defender beat the other seven players in the televised tournament, including a professional poker player to win £2,500 for Christie's hospital.

"It was nerve-wracking but once I got through to the final three, I was okay," he said, claiming also that he often plays poker with his family.

"All I wanted to do was raise money for charity so to get through to the final three was brilliant."

The second and third prize were also happy about the outcome; with second prize winner Grand National jockey Tony Dobbin donating £1,500 to the Injured Jockeys' Fund and MU legend Lou Macari donating his £1,000 third place prize to a brain tumor patient from his hometown.
