Description

Bobby Charlton is Manchester United through and through. He was a member of the original 'Busby Babes' and has devoted his career to the club, playing in 754 games over 17 years. During that period he won everything the game had to offer, played alongside some of the greats such as Best and Law, suffered devastating defeats and was involved in one of the greatest football tragedies of all time. Here, for the very first time, he tells the story of those United years. With his beloved Reds he tasted FA Cup victory in the emotional final of 1963, won three first division championships and in 1968 he reached the pinnacle of club success, winning the European Cup. Inevitably, such highs are balanced with no less dramatic lows, such as the 1957 European Cup semi-final, the highly charged 1958 FA Cup loss which followed only weeks after the horrors of the Munich Air disaster, and the 1969 European Cup defeat by Milan. He is one of the true gentlemen of football and the legacy that Bobby Charlton gives to United is beyond compare.

Media Reviews

'For anyone who loves football, this book cannot be ignored' -- The Times 'A glorious example of the genre, a class apart not least because of being penned by award-winning newspaper columnist James Lawton, a veritable master of his craft. The prologue alone is almost worth the money, the first page a peerless example of how to get to the heart - the tragic heart in this case - of the matter' -- Daily Mail 'It's a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down. Bobby Charlton is a great man and he has told a great story' -- Sir Alex Ferguson 'Sir Bobby's autobiography begins with an indescribably moving chapter about the blackest day of English sport: February 6, 1958. They are the most powerful pages ever written in a football book' -- Sunday Express

Sir Bobby Charlton was born in 1937 in Ashington, Northumberland. He joined Manchester United as a professional in 1954 and made his first team debut in October 1956. He was voted European Player of the Year in 1966 and won the FA Cup, three Division One championships and the European Cup with United.
