5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read, 3 Aug 2004
By Tim W (Leeds, Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
Manchester United ruined my life was a masterpiece. This isn't bad either. Runs through the history of 22 players, and tells of the cold reality that the most talented youngsters in the game face. The book traces players whom great things were predicted/expected often into the lower leagues. Indeed Alan Ogley became a legend at Stockport County following his move from City. Well worth a read.

1.0 out of 5 stars An old seagull looking for sardines, 29 Mar 2004
By A Customer
A self confessed Manchester United hater, Mr Shindler still sees fit to include a reference to the said club in the title of his book. 'Glyn Pardoe and 21 others' just wouldn't have sold as many books would it ?
Written from the comfort of his London abode (strange given his frequent references to United supporters not coming from the place), Manchester City fan, Shindler's book is a mish mash of sub - Hornbyesque soccer writing and tired nostalgia.
This is truly an awful book that will appeal neither to the football fan or the social historian.
Colin. You hate Manchester United. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Let it go.
Let it go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but........
Mr Schindler's book has a lot of interest, even to me, a Utd fanatic, reading partly about the Blue scum from Stockport! Read more
