From Word of Sport:
Unique account of three great epochs in Manchester United history. Tracing the threads of continuity from the tragedy of the Munich disaster to the jubilant Champions League victory in 1999, the book reassesses the Utd legend, written with a meticulous attention to detail and a captivating flair of expression.
From the Publisher:
Manchester United's quest to win the European Cup was forged amidst the charred remains of an Elizabethan airliner that crashed at Munich's Riem Airport on 6 February 1958. From that moment on, manager Matt Busby's goal of winning the European Cup became an obsession that permeated the whole club. Ten years later, Busby achieved his dream when United lifted the European Cup at Wembley. But that triumph was to hang over the club for the next 31 years, until 1999 when the club finally completed the impossible Treble. Manchester United in Europe recounts the course of those three European campaigns and considers the club's chances of ever repeating those European triumphs.

"There have only been three Cockers who have topped the UK singles chart. Jarvis and Joe from Sheffield, obviously, and Leeds United's erstwhile trainer, Les, with the 1970 World Cup song Back Home."
