Through Tragedy and Triumphs: We All Follow United!

by Timothy Conan, Roy Cavanagh, Thomas Clare

                 

August - 2013: Eight strangers began sharing their personal Manchester United memories on the internet. For the next three months, they exchanged question and answer emails that subsequently developed into this unique book. These United supporters have never met, yet they have created something passionate and dignified, as befitting a club steeped in sporting folklore. Here are eye witness accounts of The Busby Babes, The United Trinity, McGuinness, O'Farrell, Sexton, Docherty, Atkinson and of course, the magical Ferguson era. You will hear from a fan who regularly watched The Busby Babes all the way through to a teenager who congratulated Giggs as he climbed the Wembley steps at The 2013 Community Shield. In between, you will relive the atmospheric Seventies, the nostalgic Eighties and hear from a US based supporter who met Beckham every week for five years. From Matt to Moyes - from Salford to Southport, via London, Wales, Texas, Ireland, Warrington and California, you will dwell on your own recollections, acknowledging that special magic, that raw emotion of following United. Four Red legends have honoured us with words of praise in the foreword. Enjoy your trip down Red memory lane.
