Why United Were Sold

This blog IS NOT and has never been about book reviews, far from it.

You occasionally come across something that is so interesting however that you feel bound to share it.

The book is published by VSP and comes out on October 12.  I personally have not read it so I won’t even consider recommending it to anyone but I did find what’s written here to be of great interest.

GLORY, Glory! Man United in the 1990s – The Players’  Stories, by Andy Mitten is the sequel to the best-selling `We’re The Famous Man United’.

Mitten travelled around Europe to conduct in depth face to face interviews with Andrew Cole,  Nicky Butt,  Jordi Cruyff,  Martin Edwards,  Lee Sharpe,  Gary Pallister,  Paul Parker,  David May,  Eric Cantona,  Lee Martin and Jesper Blomqvist.

It’s not a very long essay so have a look for yourself and see what you think.

Dwight Yorke Reveals ALMOST All!

Dwight Yorke remains a huge favourite with many Manchester United fans.

Not only was he one of the legends from the unforgettable Treble team, he was simply a goal machine who helped to bring  so much success to the club.

On top of that, Yorke always played his football with a smile on his face which brought so much infectious joy to so many people.

In the end, his departure from Old Trafford was not in the best of circumstances which left a sour taste in his mouth but he retains very little bitterness.

Yorke mostly only has happy memories of his time at Old Trafford.

His newly released book covers previously untold, behind the scenes  stories together with the off field dramas  he went through with previous partner Katie Price.

It’s football that  most fans will be interested in however so the following extracts from his book will only deal with football matters.

You’re sure to find it an interesting read.

Extracts from “Born To Score” by DOUGLAS WIGHT of News Of  The World

Michael Owen…Is It Yes or Is It No?

If newspaper reports are to be believed, England manager Fabio Capello is still in two minds about whether to  include Michael Owen in his World Cup squad for South Africa even though the odds appear to be stacked in the negative.

Here are two schools of thoughts on the matter, both of which have some validity. The final decision will of course belong to Capello but if Owen has anything to do with it, he is certain to move heaven and earth in an effort be at what will be his final World Cup come June.

Another View On Carlitos

Here I go again getting on my high horse…and quite likely upsetting many United supporters!

My affection for the club has been strong for many years and while I hold a higher regard for some of  its players than others, I still remember anyone who ever donned the red shirt with the utmost respect.

Some of them have left outstanding memories like Charlton, Best, Law, Crerand and others too many to mention. Others like Cantona, Schmeichel, Robson, Keane, Beckham, Ronaldo and the like are more recent members who the younger fans remember so well.
