About this book

Manchester United: The Biography: The Complete Story of the World's Greatest Football Club by White, Jim. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781847440884.

Following the club’s extraordinary journey from its birth in the railway works of Newton Heath to its current status as the biggest club in world soccer, this is a fascinating history of a remarkable club. The key stages in United’s history are covered: the Munich Air Crash of 1958, which saw the best part of an entire team (the Busby Babes) being killed; becoming the first English team to win the European Cup in 1968 (with Bobby Charlton and George Best); the dominance of the club in the Premiership; the controversial sale to American tycoon Malcolm Glazer; and much more. By drawing on the recollections of everyone from players and managers to fans and backroom staff, enough new material as been unearthed to interest die-hard fans and casual supporters alike.
