A term coined by Roy Keane, the
Manchester United (football club) Captain at the time. It refers to the 'fans' that go to watch United play at Old Trafford but who actually know nothing about football or United and are only there because United are a very successful team and they want to jump on the social bandwagon of supporting

They will also usually be middle-class and social-climbers, and they are sometimes referred to as the P.S.B
