Reviews

The pre-eminent writer on Manchester United. -- Martin Edwards, former Manchester United chairman
Wayne Barton's knowledge of Manchester United is unparalleled. * The Mirror *
A definitive, unique and painstakingly researched history of an extraordinary era * Ian Herbert, Daily Mail *
There have been dozens of books about Alex Ferguson the winner. This is the first to properly show us Ferguson the man still working it out: hesitant, funny, occasionally exposed, years before the armour fully closed. Barton's access to the Tyrrell archive is a genuine find, and he's matched it with a book's worth of voices, from dressing rooms to referees' rooms, that argue with each other in the best possible way. * Guillem Balague *
A treasure trove of insights into the greatest manager of all time. * Rob Smyth *
Barton has an encyclopaedic knowledge and passion for United - telling stories in fascinating detail * Evening Standard *
Any Manchester United supporter will want to follow his work * Telegraph *
The leading football writer in the country. -- Patrick Barclay
His mastery of the subject and his tireless research never fail to unearth more gems to enhance the legacy of the world's most famous football club. -- Matt Barlow * Daily Mail *
Another exceptional Manchester United book by Wayne Barton. A unique, previously unheard take on one of the greatest managers of all time. A story that's been told many times but not in this way - through different voices and insightful anecdotes. A must read for football fans, not just Manchester United supporters. * Charlotte Duncker, The Times *
