Fellow United teammates, Nani, John O'Shea and Jonny Evans, celebrated some winners.

While Sir Alex Ferguson kept Owen Hargreaves company.


Shay and Jane Given were also present. Jane was wearing one of Victoria Beckham's signature dresses.


Joe Cole had a winning horse. Not just one he bet on either. One he ACTUALLY owns. He celebrated with his wife, Carly, and new baby daughter, Ruby.

Owen Hargreaves Plays for United Reserves

Although he is still getting injections in both knees for the pain he's suffering from surgery and 18 months on the sidelines, Owen Hargreaves played for the Manchester United reserves last week. This week, he was pulled out of their reserves match to train with the senior team. These are all good signs, but the pain he's still encountering is a major concern.

Baller on Baller: Hargreaves at Suns Game

Owen Hargreaves was spotted at the Denver Nuggets/Phoenix Suns game in Colorado (where he is getting his second knee surgery at the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic in Vail) last night. Apparently he was sitting with former Suns point guard, Rex Chapman (don’t bother looking him up… not cute). Hargreaves is yet another footballer who adores the game of basketball, and more specifically thee Phoenix Suns. (Didier Drogba is a Boston Celtics fan, while John Terry and David Beckham prefer the Los Angeles Lakers.) But the Man United star has taken his obsession a step farther by writing a blog about the Suns. Alas, the media were unaware that they had an internationally renowned athlete in their midst. There are no pictures, and the only way we know that he was in fact there, was that the cameras were more intrigued by the Suns alum sitting next to him. Tisk tisk paps, get on it!

Owen is close friends with Steve Nash (pictured above), a player for the Suns, but also a devout Tottenham Hotspurs fan. Interesting.

Happy Canada Day!

I’m not Canadian, but I’d marry this lad in a millisecond.
