SO....g'day all...how are we???...this might only interest Man U fans..dunno....BUT

I have on occasion been known to go to the local bookstore and purchase something that grabbed my attention....SO....I strolls into the shop and found this.....

AND A THUMPING GOOD READ IT IS.........covers every aspect of the great mans life from school football to working at the electrical engineers until he was old enough to sign professional papers.

From Jimmy Murphy collecting him at Manchester train station to the disaster that was Munich.... you can really get a grasp of what a top flight fellow Sir Bobby is as he reminices about his team mates from that era.....He speaks of the holy trinity..LAW, BEST & himself....and the day he spent with Dennis at Georgie Bests deathbed and how they solved problems that had come between them...and on the private side he speaks of the falling out with his brother jackie (also a capped player for england) due to their mother not getting on with Sir Bobbys wife and how after many years they got past it.

He speaks most fondly of Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy and how they got him up to Man U condition...he tells many funny tales of 'Our Nobby" and his near sightedness and the resulting calamities...and finally...he speaks of the modern era and how the only man able to carry on Sir Matts dream has been Sir Alex Ferguson ( lotta knights at this club huh?) SO....anyway...if ya see it grab it...fantastic read.....OH .....and his favourite player at Man U...PAUL SCHOLES...

So the title "The Manchester United Years" is somewhat misleading then?
