From the carriage work sheds of Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway
to becoming the greatest football team in Europe: the rise of
Manchester United Football Club is brought vividly to life through
the expert colourisation of over 150 stunning photographs. Trawling
through the archives, ‘Old Manchester United in Colour’ brings
together iconic and rarely seen images, turning them from
black-and-white photographs into fully pigmented pictures showing
scenes just as they would have been witnessed first-hand at the
time. Revisit many of the moments that have made United the
world’s most famous football club. From our first steps into
competitive football as Newton Heath LYR, to our maiden trophy
successes as the renamed Manchester United. Our post-war emergence
under Sir Matt Busby to the much-loved Busby Babes and the tragedy
of the Munich Air Disaster. The Reds’ incredible European glory
in 1968, right up to the fledgling years of Sir Alex Ferguson’s
glorious reign. This collection charts the club from its humble
beginnings right up to the fledgling years of Sir Alex Ferguson’s
glorious tenure. See what the newly-built Old Trafford looked like
over a century ago. Feel the excitement and passion of pre- and
post-war matchdays. View action shots from many great games over
the decades. Enjoy portrait images of players, coaches and staff,
plus some of United’s greatest ever teams. And all in a way
you’ve never done before. ‘Old Manchester United in Colour’
allows you to view the past through the eyes of your ancestors for
the first time in stunning, vivid colour, bringing to life a period
of football history normally only documented in monochrome.
