Highly Recommended.,

This review is from: Manchester: A Football History - The Story of City, United, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stalybridge, Stockport and More (Hardcover)
A fantastic read that doesn't just focus on the big clubs. I thought I was quite knowledgable about Manchester football, but I've learned a lot from reading this outstanding book.

Years of Scholarship Makes a Beautiful, Thorough Tome,

This review is from: Manchester: A Football History - The Story of City, United, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stalybridge, Stockport and More (Hardcover)
Gary James did exhaustive research into the history of Manchester via its surrounding and internal football teams. I purchased the 2008 volume for myself and then the updated (finally! Such a welcome thing!! I was trying to hold out until the updated version but could not. Now I will buy it, to support this amazing book and author.) volume came out, and it was coincedentally near my best friend and fellow United fan's birthday; so guess what he got! The shiny new 2010 version. Whether you are a United, City, or other team in the Manchester area, this is the perfect book. Primary and secondary sources are oozing out the endpages. Gary James has written perfection in this book.

HELPS ME RESTORE THE FAITH IN FOOTBALL,
By Big Ears "Pedantic" (Northampton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manchester: A Football History - The Story of City, United, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stalybridge, Stockport and More (Hardcover)
The author did not just focus on the glamour of Manchester City and United but also the other teams in the Manchester area. What I especially enjoyed about the book was hoW the author did not just concentrate on the glory side but also commented on such things as the Bury and Coventry scandal of the 1920s. As football gets further and further removed from what enticed me all those years ago, books like this help me see beyond the commericially hyped sanitised game that professional football has become.
