Did you know that an Irish manager did not pick the Irish football team until 1969? Do you know who that manager was? Contrary to popular opinion, Irish football management did not begin with Jack Charlton!

Manchester United
A warm welcome to this e-mag edition of Manchester United – An Anthology.’ As you will see from the list of contents, it’s a pick-n-mix compendium of writings from the eras of Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton, and Ron Atkinson. It’s split into ordered sections, but it’s more of a dip-in anthology. It contains the great triumphs – along with a few disasters, and there are vignettes on some of the great players, with some who didn’t quite make it. There are specially composed match reports on the great Cup finals, and a section on the rivalries United faced during the above eras. It’s something a bit different that will take you on a journey down memory lane. For younger readers, it will give an insight into what United was all about before the arrival of Sir Alex Ferguson. It was a diverse era for its moments of trials, as well as glorious moments of unforgettable joy. RE-EDITED 2021 PLEASE DOWNLOAD NEW VERSION OF BOOK FORMAT DECEMBER 2021
Arsenal
A history of the Gunners told through in-depth biographies of the team’s key players on and off the pitch, from its late 19th century beginnings to today. Arsenal: The Story of a Football Club in 101 Lives tells the history of the team through the biographies of key individuals associated with the club from its formation in the gas-lit days of Victorian Britain through to the present day.

The in-depth stories of the characters—players, managers, chairmen—here paint a fascinating picture of how the club—indeed, the game of football itself—has developed from workers playing for fun to today’s multi-million-pound business.
