As Victorian Britain was gripped by 'the football craze', eight men
laid the foundations at one of the world's greatest clubs. These
pioneers ranged from miners to brewery owners, fitness fanatics to
portly beer drinkers. From Stretford, Ancoats, Birmingham, Bolton,
Darlington, Chirk and Crewe, some were rebels, others were leaders.
All were grafters. The Men Who Made Manchester United brings you
the definitive history of Manchester United before Sir Matt Busby's
post-war halcyon days. Inside are tales that will make you squirm,
laugh and cry: the transfer fee of two freezers of ice cream, the
tragic death of a young footballer and his forgotten family, the
fight for the right to unionise, Edwardian Cockney Reds, severed
fingers and the pelting stones of the angry residents of Budapest.
This is the story behind the club's name and colours, the building
of Old Trafford, the founding of the PFA and the creation of the
Academy. It's filled with tales that will fascinate and entertain.
