Manchester United On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club’s distinguished past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable diary of Red Devils history – with an entry for every day of the year – the perfect gift for Manchester United fans!
From the club’s Victorian foundation as Newton Heath through to their emergence as one of the world’s most successful clubs, United’s rollercoaster history takes in winding-up orders, the Munich air disaster and the joys of United’s first European Cup triumph, all crowned by the drama of winning the first ever Treble.
Pivotal historic events such as the club’s first ever trophy win, the 1960s rebirth and Sir Alex Ferguson’s arrival form a backdrop against which Old Trafford heroes – Duncan Edwards, George Best and Bobby Charlton, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Billy Meredith – all loom larger than life.
Written by award-winning football writer, Mike Donovan, this book includes contemporary and historic images of club legends, key events and matches from the club’s colourful history.
