Items related to We're the Famous Man United
Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Sir Alex Ferguson's appointment as Manchester United manager, this book looks at the times prior to (and just after) the Scotsman's arrival when things were very different at Old Trafford. Aside from two FA Cups the 80s was a lean decade for a club steeped in tradition and talent and fans had to watch on as arch rivals Liverpool dominate the Englsish and European stage. Andy Mitten has interviewed eleven United stars from the 80s and this is their story, always candid and often very funny, of what it was like at Old Trafford in the Sexton, Atkinson and Ferguson eras. The games, the bust ups, the managers, the drinking and gambling are all covered in this look at a period before football became big business and players multi-millionaires.

Review:
A terrific antidote to the banal sporting autobiography.
-- Ian Hawkey, Sunday Times
Full of great anecdotes, detail and colour, bringing back just
what it was like following United in the pre-Ferguson era. -- Michael Crick
Utterly compelling! -- Daniel Taylor, The Guardian
jaw-dropping, enraging, staggering and alarming, but always,
always charged with affection and enthusiasm, this is what nostalgia is all
about. -- Jim White, Daily Telegraph
