Product Description
Review
Gary James has fulfilled our desire and produced the definitive history. A City history with its Blue heart on its sleeve. -- DAVID BUTLER, MCIVTA
Here is a book that more than justifies the blurb. If you are a Blue, this definitive book on City is for you. -- Richard Bott, MCFC Match Programme
The book contains half a million words. And weighing in at just over four pounds, it’s probably the heaviest book ever written on a club. -- MIKE BARNETT, Manchester based journalist.
Well written, painstakingly researched and sumptuously produced. A must for the shelf of every City fan and serious football historian. -- Richard Whitehead, The Times

The author has gone to great lengths to produce a first class book which is easy to read and difficult to put down. A total history in words and fantastic archive pictures. A must for all Manchester Blues.
