REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
"Gary James's ambitious aim is to tell the history of football in the Manchester area and thereby establish its importance to the city and its environs.
"This is a heavyweight volume - literally, as it spans 512 closely packed pages, handsomely illustrated with rare photographs and terrific facsimile documents: newspaper clippings, pages from programmes, correspondence etc.
"It is a real achievement and the first time the history of the game in the region has been told."
Joyce Woolridge, When Saturday Comes
"... this enthralling trawl through Manchester's football history." 4 Stars
Steve Morgan, Four-Four-Two
"Book of the week"
Ian Herbert, The Independent
"This is an absorbing book that will appeal greatly to a wider audience than just supporters of the 'Manchester' clubs."
David Powter, Winger
"Among the many fascinating stories in the book is a 1972 letter from Manchester United to Manchester City asking if they would like to make an offer for a forward − 26-year-old George Best. The book also alleges that City and United joined forces in the 1930s to stop a third Manchester side from joining the league and that a City director in the 60s asked United if they would like to merge."
