About this title

About the Author:

From its humble beginnings as Newton Heath Cricket and Football Club in the late nineteenth century, Manchester United has grown to become the world's most popular football club, with a global fan base of 75 million.

From School Library Journal:

This in-depth history by Murphy (Grass in the Sky) and Endlar (Manchester United) opens with a warm foreword by former player Bobby Charlton, survivor of the titular team's 1958 Munich air disaster and a 1966 World Cup medalist. The 12-chapter chronology, rich with action photographs, follows the team from its humble 1878 origins at Newton Heath to European football supremacy. Significant players, including George Best and David Beckham, receive full-page profiles, as do the team's championship games.
