2011 edition of Andy Mitten’s acclaimed bestseller, featuring the candid recollections of former United players Bryan Robson, Gordon McQueen, Gary Bailey, Billy Garton, Arthur Albiston, Clayton Blackmore, Alan Brazil, Frank Stapleton, Arnold Muhren and Ron Atkinson.
Through the 11 chapters – each a mini-autobiography of each player – we build up a picture not just of life at United, from the football to the fights, the booze sessions to the mad pranks, but of an era where footballers still lived alongside the fans who watched them from the terraces, went to the pub after training and, crucially, hung up their boots with little or nothing to show for their efforts apart from dodgy knees and a medal or two if they were lucky.
