Over the years, the history of Manchester United has been well documented. This publication, however, is a Manchester United history book with a difference. It takes you beyond the pages of any previous publication, and indeed, beyond the walls of the club's excellent museum situated within the bowels of Old Trafford itself. It takes you out onto the streets of Manchester and beyond. You will discover the exact location where the original railway workers kicked that first ball in earnest on North Road, Newton Heath. This book follows them from their beginnings at Clayton all the way through to Old Trafford today. Ever wondered what the connection between Manchester United and Bramhall Hall is? Do you know the exact location where the Professional Footballers Association was founded? Where does the first captain of Manchester United to lift a major trophy lie at rest? The answers are to be found in this book, which takes you on the United Tour of Manchester. Who knows what you will discover?

An examination of the United Trinity and their antecedents. Down and along Sir Matt Busby Way, facing what is now the East Stand at Manchester United’s magnificent Old Trafford Stadium, is a large statue. Standing high upon a mottled, marble base are three bronze figures: one of a young Ulsterman with his right hand upon his hip, one of a Scot with his right arm and index finger pointing high into the sky, and the last of an Englishman carrying a football in his left hand. Inscribed in gold lettering halfway up that mottled, marble base is the inscription ‘The United Trinity’, and below that, the names of the three bronze figures standing above: Best, Law, and Charlton. Icons in the history of not only Manchester United, but also British and European football. However, are those three great players really the original Manchester United Trinity? The original Manchester United Trinity came from the famous Busby Babes team that was so prolific from 1955 until February 1958, when they perished in a terrible accident at the end of a snowy runway in Munich, Germany. The three players who deserve the accolade of ‘United’s Original Trinity’ are Tommy Taylor, Dennis Viollet, and Liam ‘Billy’ Whelan. All three were supremely gifted players and prolific goal scorers. When played in the Manchester United team together as an inside-forward trio, they averaged almost three goals per game. It is an incredible record at the highest level of the English game, and a record which, it is suspected, will never be broken. This book will set the record straight by comparing and charting their record against the many great forward combinations of players who are littered throughout Manchester United’s history.

The Busby Babes. What a great name and title. It marked the fruition of the plans for youth which were drawn up by J.W. Gibson and put into practice by Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy. It marked another new chapter in Manchester United s history. When Sir Matt Busby arrived and took on the Manager s job in 1945, he embraced Gibson’s vision totally. Together with his able lieutenant, Jimmy Murphy, Busby drew the blueprint and Murphy put the building bricks together. This book tells the story of 18 players plus Assistant Manager, Jimmy Murphy, who made up the main squad of that famous team. There is still as much an aura about them now as there was before the tragedy of Munich. They were the pollinators of British football; they were the Flowers of Manchester.
