WE NEED YOUR VIEWS

We are working with author Gary James to transform the text from some of his out of print books into ebooks accessed via a new Members area. It's a fact that secondhand editions of "Manchester The Greatest City" & "Farewell To Maine Road" are now selling at exceptionally high prices and these are now out of reach for many potential buyers. So our idea is to make the text from this material available to view at bargain prices.

If you would like to let us know which of Gary's past publications you would like access to then please email your ideas. See www.manchesterfootball.org/ebooks.php for details.

In 2009 Gary lectured at the Manchester Histories Festival. In front of a 100 strong audience of football fans, academics, journalists, and general members of the public, Gary's talk followed the growth of Mancunian football from 1608 until the late 1930s.

It focused on four main themes - the story of an alternative MCFC and how City & United combined to stop them from threatening United's existence; How one woman's fight against scuttling (gang warfare) led to the formation of City; Manchester's first national success and the defining moment when football became important to Mancunians; and how bribery and scandal led to the near destruction of one of Manchester's leading sides and the first successes of the other.
