Katie Price often attracts attention when out and about - and her presence at Old Trafford was no different, with even Manchester United star's "in awe".
Katie was briefly an item with Red Devils icon Dwight Yorke, who turns 54 today, in 2001 - and clearly supportive of her partner, Price would rock up to Old Trafford to watch him play. And it delighted the United players.
Daniel Nardiello was one of those in the United dressing room while Katie was the talk of the town. And speaking on Undr the Cosh, he joked the squad "loved it."
He said: "Jordan used to come to the games, you know, Katie Price. We were in awe in the changing rooms."
Nardiello was a youth player at the time, and he explained how the squad had to prove they were at games - with the glamour model's presence at the game being an added bonus.

"We had to prove we're at the games, so the youth team managers would come before the game, we'd watch the game," he explained.
"And then they'd ask us about the game on Monday - because some lads wanted to sneak off.
"But she used to be there every week, watching the games, and we'd be like 'oh my god'. So we loved it, and Yorkie loved it!"

However, Yorke and Price's relationship didn't last and the pair went their separate ways before their son, Harvey, was born.
Initially, Yorke denied he was Harvey's father, but a DNA test proved the Trinidad and Tobago striker was indeed Harvey's dad.
In her book Love, Lipstick And Lies, Price described how Yorke met Harvey after his 10th birthday - but only because her mum rang his manager.

She wrote: "It wasn’t a friendly meeting and I didn’t hear from Dwight afterwards. It’s such a shame. All I can say is that he is missing out on a very special little boy.
"Personally, I think he is scared of seeing Harvey...Dwight should try. He would get so much love in return."
Nardiello played with Yorke after he joined United's academy from Wolves shortly after the club's famous treble win in 1999.
However, he only went on to make four senior appearances for the Red Devils during a six-year stay before his release on a free transfer to Barnsley.
