“Immortalised in Sir Matt Busby's 1968 European Cup winning team, Alex Stepney became the bedrock of Manchester United for the next decade. Alex began his career as a teenager with non-league Tooting and Mitcham United before signing professional forms for Millwall. Earning huge plaudits at 'The Lions', Alex was spotted by Tommy Docherty who signed him for First Division Chelsea only for Manchester United to pay 'The Blues' a world record fee three months later to make him an integral part of the 1967 League winning team. Playing alongside some of the all-time-greats including Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law, Alex established himself as a superb keeper and earned an England call up to face Sweden a week before the European Cup Final. Over the next ten years, Alex became the 'experienced head' in a United side that underwent a roller-coaster of fortune. Winning the League in 1967 the European Cup in 1968, the team entered a downward spiral which culminated in relegation in 1974.” |

“This book offers fascinating insight into the team that set Manchester United onto the path to greatness. Featuring player profiles, match analyses, statistics and match data, it is arranged chronologically to allow the reader to easily follow the team's path to victory. When Manchester United captured the Premier League title at the end of the 2008-09 season it brought their trophy haul to 36 with 18 top-flight successes, 11 FA Cups, three League Cups, three European Cups and one Cup-Winners' Cup. As such it now seems only a matter of time before they catch and overtake their Lancashire rivals Liverpool, currently four trophies ahead, to become the most successful English side ever. Like all great clubs, however, it all had to start with a first success, and in the case of Manchester United it came just over 100 years ago when only a few years after almost going bust they captured the First Division title at the end of the 1907-08 season with a then record number of points. But how did they do it? Who were the players and management team that set the Manchester club on a path to greatness? Who were their opponents and what sort of football did they play? Find out in this, the first ever book on the Manchester United Championship-winning team of 1907-08.” |

“Appointed Manchester United manager in late 1972, Tommy Docherty took the club on an amazing journey that encompassed relegation battles both unsuccessful and successful, rebirth in and instant promotion from the old Second Division and two successive FA Cup Finals all in just four and a half years. While his Old Trafford football was beautiful, Docherty was a complicated and less than perfect man, as illustrated by the fact than within weeks of winning the club their first trophy for a decade he was sacked following allegations about his private life. With the aid of new and exclusive interviews with players and insiders of the time, The Doc's Devils tells the full, fascinating story of one of the most tumultuous periods in Manchester United s history.” |

“After
an introduction by Simon Inglis Manchester United historian Mark Wylie sets the
scene: Old Trafford lies in ruins after the Blitz, United are renting their neighbour's
ground, they have a young and untried Scottish manager, Matt Busby, soon to sign
the Dudley wonderkid, Duncan Edwards...
As the years go by the hairstyles
change, the stars emerge - Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor, all to die so tragically
at Munich in 1958, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, Nobby Stiles, George Best... triumph
and tragedy in Europe, losing Cup Finalists in 1957 and 1958, winners at last
in 1963. From the Busby Babes to European Champions in 1968, Charles Buchan's
Football Monthly spanned almost the entire Busby era, watching the legend grow...” |

Van ‘the grassroots
beginning of the club as Newton Heath’ tot de Champions League-finale in
Moskou. Voor het eerst de gehele geschiedenis van de club in één
boek, beweert de uitgever. Zoals Peter Akroyd een biografie schreef over de stad
Londen, zo schrijft Jim White een biografie over de club Manchester United. Wij
lazen een proef van het eerste hoofdstuk en zijn vol verwachting van de rest.
White begint het eerste hoofdstuk met een betoog over het lied ‘Dirty Old
Town’ van zestiger jaren folkzanger Ewan MacColl, later gecovered door onder
meer The Pogues. ‘That song provides a snapshot of how Manchester has
long been viewed by the artists, actors, playwrights and musicians who have found
their muse in the darkest, dirtiest, bleakest corner of their home space.’ Volgt een mooie, literaire beschrijving van Manchester eind 19e eeuw waar het
latere United ontstond.

“On 6 February 1958, a plane took
off from a snowy Munich airport carrying probably the finest club side the world
has ever known. Moments later, the aircraft crashed, killing some of the most
legendary names in British football. This book is dedicated to those players -
Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor, the mighty Duncan Edwards and the others whose lives
were cut off in their prime - and their indomitable manager, Sir Matt Busby. Max
Arthur has sought out all the players who survived the crash and spoken to the
relatives and friends of those who died. From these interviews, sometimes serious
but often humorous, he has captured their remarkable spirit and created a unique
portrait of all the Busby Babes.” |  |

“For people who lived in Manchester
at that time and for football fans throughout Britain it was one of those moments,
like Kennedy’s assassination, when everybody remembers exactly where they were
and how they heard that terrible news. Manchester United, nicknamed Busby’s Babes
after their manager, Matt Busby, who had created the world-beating side, were
the leading team of the day. Seven of their players were killed instantly in the
crash – Roger Byrne, Geoff Bent, Eddie Colman, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor
and Liam Whelan. Three weeks later Duncan Edwards, one of the most promising players
ever to come out of England, lost his battle for life. Two other players, Jackie
Blanchflower and Johnny Berry, were so severely injured that they were never able
to play again.
Manchester's Finest is about
the terrible air crash, but it is also the story of the immediate aftermath of
the crash and its effect on the city of Manchester. It is about what it was like
in Manchester at that time, from February to the end of the season in May when
a patched-up team, carried along on a great wave of emotion, reached the FA Cup
Final. It is about the fans, the people of Manchester and their lives, and about
the place of a football team in the heart of a city.” |  |

Prachtig fotoboek met zwartwit foto's - vaak niet eerder
in boekvorm gepubliceerd - uit het archief van de Daily
Mail. Uiteraard komt de vliegramp aan bod, met foto's van de crash en de
gewonden in het ziekenhuis, maar de nadruk ligt op de prestaties op het veld.
The Busby Years duurden van 1945 tot 1969. Hoogtepunt de Europa cup-winst in 1968
met acht spelers uit eigen kweek. |  |

Connor schetst naast het verlies van een aantal uiterst talentvolle
spelers ook een andere zijde van de tragedie in München; hoe United zichzelf
verrijkte aan de mythe van München en geen aandacht schonk aan de families
van de slachtoffers, evenmin aan de slachtoffers zelf als zij door hun verwondingen
niet meer konden voetballen. |  |
