Manchester United On This Day by Mike Donovan
Manchester United On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's distinguished past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable diary of Red Devils history - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's Victorian foundation as Newton Heath through to their emergence as one of the world's most successful clubs, United's rollercoaster history takes in winding-up orders, the Munich air disaster and the joys of United's first European Cup triumph, all crowned by the drama of winning the first ever Treble. Pivotal historic events such as the club's first ever trophy win, the 1960s rebirth and Sir Alex Ferguson's arrival form a backdrop against which Old Trafford heroes - Duncan Edwards, George Best and Bobby Charlton, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Billy Meredith - all loom larger than life.
Mike Donovan has won two British Sportswriter of the Year awards, has twice worked as a newspaper sports editor and now contributes to a variety of national dailies and magazines. He collaborated with Darren Anderton on his autobiography Takenote!, and rates interviews with United icons George Best and Sir Alex Ferguson among his career highlights.
