Sir Matt Busby: The Father of Manchester United - Softcover

The definitive story of one of football's greatest ever managers. The modern-day success of Manchester United can be attributed to Sir Alex Ferguson, but where would the club be without his pioneering, trailblazing forerunner...Sir Matt Busby? In this glossy special bookazine, the full story of the Busby era is retold, as produced by the team behind United's official matchday programme and magazine. Taking the role of manager following the end of World War Two - with Old Trafford in ruins due to a wartime bombing raid - Busby set about rebuilding the club, and with it transforming English football forever. It is a story that takes in triumph and tragedy, recovering from the horrors of the Munich Air Disaster to lead United to European Cup glory, the first English team to lift the sport's greatest club prize. With unseen images, exclusive input from club legends and current reflections from today's first-team stars.
