Book Synopsis
We accompany an awe-struck seven year-old Salford boy at his first game in 1966 watching Best, Law and Charlton in their pomp, through relegation, raucous away days and foreign adventures. There is bucket-loads of beer, banter... and Barcelona''s Nou Camp for the greatest night of all! The cast includes Sir Matt, Captain Marvel, Eric the King, The Baby-faced Assassin, Reliant Robin and The Ginger Prince. The writer revels in a Fergie Wonderland, yet there''s solemnity too, the passing of heroes and American impostors. Above the Theatre of Dreams though, the red flag was, as ever, flying high.
