Book description
In the year England failed to qualify for the World Cup, it seemed
Manchester United were destined to carry all before them, hoovering up
domestic football trophies with the enthusiasm of a kleptomaniac.
Jim White followed the colossi of English football through a
campaign of stratospheric highs and catastrophic lows. From Istanbul
to Ipswich, Budapest to the Boleyn Road, he travelled with the team
and with the fans, getting to the heart of the most formidable
football machine this country has ever seen.
Jim White is a Mancunian who has followed Manchester United since the
less than glorious days of Arnie Sidebottom, Alex Forsyth and Tommy
Jackson. He is a feature writer for the
Independent
and lives in exile in north London, comforted by his wife, three
children and a poster of Eric Cantona.
