'Wayne Barton's knowledge of Manchester United is unparalleled' The Mirror

'The pre-eminent writer on Manchester United' Martin Edwards

ON THE 40TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SIR ALEX FERGUSON'S ARRIVAL AT UNITED, THIS IS THE STORY OF THE CLUB’S GREATEST MANAGER – TOLD THROUGH PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD RECORDINGS.

The story of Sir Alex Ferguson's success at Manchester United is one of the most compelling in the history of world sport. Everyone knows how it went. Alex Ferguson came to Manchester United from Aberdeen; he overcame a tough start and created a dynasty where he won thirteen league titles and two European Cups, and was awarded a knighthood. That story has been told through books penned by Ferguson and his former players. Now, though, this story is told with a difference.

Based on 400 hours of exclusive, previously unheard or published audio archive from 1986 to 2013, contemporaneous and brand-new interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson and many of his players, the most successful era in football management history is brought to life in the most remarkable, intimate and forensic way.

Written by Manchester United historian Wayne Barton, the book takes us through the corridors of the Cliff, Carrington and Old Trafford. It is a fly on the dressing room wall of Manchester United and their opponents. It is a recorder at press conferences. It is a friend next to Alex Ferguson at the most vulnerable moments. It takes the voices belonging to those who knew, worked with and against Ferguson, and encountered him in his full glory.

Includes exclusive interviews with Andres Iniesta, Jamie Carragher, Paul Parker, Harry Redknapp and more.
