Description
A collection of pieces written for Manchester United supporters throughout the glorious 1990s by Richard Kurt, stalwart of the top fanzine "Red Issue" and author of seven books on the club. Read as a whole, the book seeks to carry the reader along the journey from United's first Premiership title to the edge of the new millennium, an alternative fan's-eye history of a sensational footballing era at Old Trafford. The pieces sum of the United experience from every angle: in-depth studies of major personalities and events; comic romps at the expense of rivals or unloved club personnel; snapshots of life both on and off the Old Trafford park; and, as a constant theme, the story of the progressive disenfranchisement of the traditional United fan which culminated in the club being put up for sale.
