Description
Bill Foulkes is one of the key figures in the history of Manchester United. An original Busby Babe and a survivor of the Munich air disaster, he contributed a quarter of a century's service to the club, seeing him play nearly 700 games, win a host of top honours and score the goal which secured his beloved Red Devils a place in the 1968 European Cup Final. In Manchester United and Beyond he depicts that incredible period of Manchester United history as only a true veteran can. Describing his double life as a coal-mining England international - working through the day and training at night - he also recounts extraordinary cloak-and-dagger yarns from his Army days and sheds new, and candid, light on the Old Trafford scene today. As befits his colossal stature in the game, contributors to the book include Old Trafford icons Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton, and England World Cup winners Roger Hunt and Nobby Stiles. Filled with stunning black and white photography from throughout his life, Bill Foulkes: Manchester United and Beyond is the story of a life well lived and a very special footballing career.
