Book Description

12 Oct 2009
Glory Glory! is the story of one of the greatest eras in the history of England s greatest club through the eyes of the players who made it happen. Not just the big wins, the cup finals and the trophy parades, but the half-time rows, the mad pranks, the boozy nights out and the training ground bust-ups.

Andy Mitten has tracked down ten of the stars from that team - including Eric Cantona, Andrew Cole, Lee Sharpe, and Nicky Butt as well as controversial chairman Martin Edwards - to open the door to both the dressing room and boardroom at Old Trafford as the club emerged as the dominant force in English football.

Glory Glory! is an astonishingly candid and revealing insight into a club that was winning its first league title in 26 years, the Double and that historic Treble. More than that, it as lively and entertaining sports book as you'll ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Step inside United's best decade ever 2 Jan 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a terrific book - genuinely hard to put down. Andy Mitten seems to have a knack of putting United footballers at their ease and having them tell their stories as if they were chatting to a couple of mates down the pub. So even though some of the star names (Beckham, Scholes, Keane, Schmeichel) are absent, my guess is that those he does talk to - the lesser lights, like David May and Jordi Cruyff, or players who are no longer reporting in daily to Sir Alex, like Pallister, Cole, Butt and Sharpe - provide more of an insight into the United experience. (Cole, in particular, is an excellent, self-revelatory interview.) And the main man, Eric Cantona, is present and talkative here, evidently still full of affection for his time at Old Trafford. The book is very cleverly structured, too, so that it provides a pretty full narrative of the decade, with high and low points evocatively described. I read it through in a couple of days over Christmas and had to root around for a video of United in the 90s to relive those games Andy and the players brought back. I'm heading back to the 80s now, with Andy Mitten's earlier tome, "We're the Famous Man Utd". And when the dust settles, I hope he gets to do the same with the Noughties.
