MANCHESTER UNITED’S GREATEST MANAGER – TOLD THROUGH PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD RECORDINGS

THIS AUDIOBOOK FEATURES EXCLUSIVE EMBEDDED RECORDINGS FROM SIR ALEX FERGUSON AND MANCHESTER UNITED LEGENDS

For more than two decades, Sir Alex Ferguson defined dominance in world football. Winning thirteen league titles, two European Cups, five FA Cups, four League Cups and one Cup Winners’ Cup, he built one of the most formidable dynasties the sport has ever seen.

Forty years on from his arrival at Manchester United, his extraordinary story is re-examined in a ground-breaking way.

Through 400 hours of exclusive audio archives recorded between 1986 and 2013, Wayne Barton uncovers the authentic voices of Sir Alex Ferguson and the players who shared in Manchester United’s golden age. Rich in first-hand testimony, the result is an unparalleled portrait of a managerial genius.

This is Ferguson’s United as it has never been heard before – a definitive intimate and forensic account of the most successful era in football history.

This audiobook includes EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS with Andres Iniésta, Jamie Carragher, Martin Edwards, Rene Meulensteen, Michael Knighton, Paul Parker, Ron Atkinson, Harry Redknapp and more.

Critic Reviews

A definitive, unique and painstakingly researched history of an extraordinary era
There have been dozens of books about Alex Ferguson the winner. This is the first to properly show us Ferguson the man still working it out: hesitant, funny, occasionally exposed, years before the armour fully closed. Barton’s access to the Tyrrell archive is a genuine find, and he’s matched it with a book’s worth of voices, from dressing rooms to referees’ rooms, that argue with each other in the best possible way.
Another exceptional Manchester United book by Wayne Barton. A unique, previously unheard take on one of the greatest managers of all time. A story that’s been told many times but not in this way – through different voices and insightful anecdotes. A must read for football fans, not just Manchester United supporters.
A treasure trove of insights into the greatest manager of all time.
Hours of interviews conducted with Ferguson from the moment he stepped through the door at Old Trafford... What a trove they turned out to be… This is what happened, when it happened…
The pre-eminent writer on Manchester United. (Martin Edwards, former Manchester United chairman)
Wayne Barton's knowledge of Manchester United is unparalleled.
Barton has an encyclopaedic knowledge and passion for United – telling stories in fascinating detail
Any Manchester United supporter will want to follow his work
The leading football writer in the country. (Patrick Barclay)
His mastery of the subject and his tireless research never fail to unearth more gems to enhance the legacy of the world's most famous football club. (Matt Barlow)
