Let us take a nostalgic trip back in time to the age of Harry
Stafford, Charlie Roberts, Sandy Turnbull, Joe Spence, Johnny Carey
and Jack Rowley. These were the greats who made Manchester United
great; legends for their immense contribution both on and off the
pitch but now consigned to history. There are no shrines or statues
to these players at Old Trafford yet without them, other legends
might never have emerged, indeed the club itself might not exist.
The Forgotten Legends brings to vivid life the careers of an elite
set of footballers. They had two things in common: all made their
United debuts before the start of the Second World War and none of
them have had their story told in print before. HARRY STAFFORD --
The mysterious figure who saved Manchester United and then
disappeared. CHARLIE ROBERTS -- Manchester United's first great
captain and founder of the PFA. SANDY TURNBULL -- a figure who
attracted controversy as easily as he did match winning goals. JOE
SPENCE -- United's only true great between the wars, a legend among
the fans. JOHNNY CAREY -- United's next great captain, leading the
club back to glory. JACK ROWLEY -- A prolific striker with a
fearsome reputation on and off the pitch.
