| book description |
The world’s biggest football club comes under scrutiny like no other sporting institution on earth. Yet how did Manchester United become the global behemoth it is? And how and why did Matt Busby take the club to the summit of the game - and build an empire that lasted for decades? Football, Taught By Matt Busby delves into the DNA of Manchester United, the world’s most famous football club, exploring the identity and philosophy of the team from its beginnings in Newton Heath to its global prominence today. At a time when the club’s identity has been questioned following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, Wayne Barton seeks to unravel the core principles that have shaped the club’s success over decades, through research spanning over a decade, and interviews with key figures associated with the club. Drawing on never-before-heard interviews with Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as conversations with over one hundred former players, managers, coaches, and officials, this book is the definitive study of Manchester United’s playing style and heritage. For the first time, the intricate details of the club’s football philosophy are connected, from the Busby era to Ferguson’s reign, and beyond. This book is set to become a vital reference point for fans, historians, and coaches alike.
