Fergies Fledglings by Wayne Barton
Fergie's Fledglings is the most comprehensive and unique record of its kind, telling the story of Manchester United's successful and prolific youth system through the eyes and words of the players who experienced it. The most prominent 'Fledglings' of the first wave in the late 1980s describe the foundations and how Sir Alex Ferguson tried to work from the blueprint of the vision Sir Matt Busby had for Manchester United; members of the class of '92 give unique insight on how and why that team achieved so much success, and a whole host of names share how Ferguson managed to move with the times with youth development as United evolved into the biggest club in the world. Stories of success, near miss, circumstance and personal tragedy are told in this most thorough, chronological walk through the most successful era in English football management history.
Wayne Barton is the football columnist for international sports broadcaster Setanta Sports. Travelling around England and North America, he has interviewed some of the biggest names in Manchester United's rich history including Harry Gregg, Tommy Docherty, Mike Duxbury, Mikael Silvestre, Alex Stepney, Lou Macari and Sammy McIlroy. He also worked with the late Brian Greenhoff on his 2012 autobiography and ghost wrote the 2014 autobiographies of Gordon Hill and Danny Higginbotham.
