Publisher's Synopsis
Just over 30 years ago Manchester United blazed the trail when Sir Matt Busby shrugged off the objections of the Football League to take his team into the European Cup. This book tells the story of the triumphs and defeats of the team in Europe; woven into the story are dramatic pictures and match reports of the key games, along with fascinating insights as the stars who played look back on those days. Sir Matt Busby, Jimmy Murphy, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law, Nobby Stiles and Bryan Robson all talk about their exploits on foreign fields in this complete history of Manchester United in Europe. Also included in this book are the sad experiences of the Munich air disaster and the club's recovery to win the European Cup ten years later.
