Description

Praise for Jonathan WIlson: 'SUPERB' The Observer 'EXCELLENT' ESPN 'INSIGHTFUL' When Saturday Comes 'EPIC' Evening Standard 'FASCINATING' Independent A definitive history of Manchester United told through the 10 key football matches that have shaped the club Award-winning football writer Jonathan Wilson has crafted a compelling analysis of Manchester United's history through the ten landmark games that have shaped the club's fortunes - from the first time they lifted the FA Cup in 1909, beating Bristol City, to the FA Cup victory of 2016 that proved to be Louis van Gaal's last match in charge. In doing so, he identifies the pivotal moments in the club's rise to becoming one of the foremost teams in world football. With his trademark tactical acumen, Wilson goes back to the games themselves and subjects them to forensic examination, re-evaluation and reassessment, going beyond the white noise of banal player quotes and instant judgements to uncover what really happened. The result is a unique football history of one of England's greatest and most famous clubs.
