Hyypia remembers good and bad on Old Trafford return


MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Old Trafford conjures memories of career milestones for Bayer Leverkusen manager Sami Hyypia and when the former Liverpool defender returns there in the Champions League he has the chance to add to the collection.

A decade playing for Manchester United's arch-rivals means Tuesday's Group A opponents are all too familiar to the Finn, who picked up his only red card at Old Trafford in 2003 and played his last full match in a Liverpool shirt there in 2009, helping his side to a famous 4-1 win.
