Manchester United's recent history is extensively documented, and the current players all household names, while success is something that is practically taken for granted But what of those players and events of a bygone era? Here for the first time is the story of how United won their first major trophy, the FA Cup in 1909, taking you on a round by round journey from Lancashire to London, with individuals like captain Charlie Roberts, the burly Sandy Turnbull and the incomparable Billy Meredith. Football over a century ago was an entirely different game, but the achievement was greeted with as much enthusiasm as any modern day triumph. About the Author Although from north of Hadrian's Wall, Iain McCartney is a life long Manchester United supporter and has travelled south for over forty years to watch those famous red shirts. His enthusiasm for the club has journeyed beyond the terracing and stands and onto the bookshelves with numerous titles on the history of the club and individual players. 'Remembering that First Time' is his first venture into the world of ebooks, Iain also runs the 'Manchester United Collectors Cub' and is secretary of the 'Manchester United Writers' Association'.
