Quinton Fortune
Football legend Quinton Fortune represented his home nation of South Africa on the world stage almost 50 times, and during his career played in several of Europe’s top divisions, including Spain’s La Liga, Italy’s Serie A and the English Premier League. He is perhaps best known for his seven seasons in Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United squad, and is today is a successful coach, commentator and speaker.
Fortune moved from South Africa to Europe at the age of just 14 to play for Tottenham Hotspur as a junior. There followed a move to Spain, first with Mallorca and then with Atlético Madrid, before he was signed to Manchester United in 1999. Fortune proved himself to be a versatile player, comfortable in defence and midfield positions, and during his time at United he helped the club win three Premier League titles, the FA Community Shield and the 1999 Intercontinental Cup.
In the years that followed, he would also enjoy stints at Bolton Wanderers, Italian club Brescia Calcio, and Belgium’s AFC Tubize. Internationally, he earned 46 caps for South Africa, including playing at three African Nations Cups, two World Cups (France 1998 and Korea/Japan 2002), and the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Since retiring from professional football, Fortune has maintained an active and influential presence in the game. He has completed his coaching badges, coached Cardiff City’s under-21s, and in 2017 established The Quinton Fortune Football Academy. He is a regular pundit and media presence on networks including the BBC, ITV and Sky, and is a popular and inspiring speaker. Fortune works frequently supporting good causes with the Manchester United Foundation, and has helped campaign against domestic violence as part of the Don’t Kick Off campaign.
