The story of United from a fan's perspective, covering Alex Ferguson's reignIn December 1989, United fanatic Pete Molyneux raised a banner calling for Alex Ferguson's head, sparking the biggest protest in Old Trafford's 100 years. For manager and supporter alike it was their darkest hour. Pete never gave up on his team and, thank God, Fergie stayed. Ta Ra Fergie! tells Pete's story of his time following United at home and abroad since 1964, attending more than 2,000 matches. From the despair of relegation and the tortuous false-dawns of the 1980s to that elusive title win, the doubles, the treble, and two more European Cups, his obsession with watching United brought countless thrills but it also had a darker side that led to heartache and tragedy.
