Schweitzer Klassifikation
Neville Moir has followed United closely for over half a century. From listening on the radio to George Best ripping apart the mighty Benfica in Lisbon in 1965 to buying cable TV after the arrival of Eric Cantona as the new Premier League era began, to seeing the return of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2021, he has experienced the ups and downs of being a supporter of the Red Devils. The privation of the Covid lockdowns gave him the opportunity to research and write this short history and become even better acquainted with the history and glory of this great club.
