Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"Around Cork, the story is that the young Keane wrote to all the English First Division clubs requesting a trial--all, that is, except Manchester United because he apparently thought he was not good enough."
One look at the 1999 treble winners and the pivotal roles of Dennis Irwin and Roy Keane reminds us that the "Irish connection" with Manchester United has been a part of every successful Reds team since Matt Busby's built a European Cup winning side on the skills of Harry Gregg, Tony Dunne and George Best in the 1960s.
Award-winning BBC Northern Ireland journalist and lifelong Utd fan Chris Moore looks at the contribution that Irish players have made to the success of England's biggest club, focusing on his own fantasy 11 of Irish Reds: Gregg, Nichol, Irwin, Moran, McGrath, Dunne, McIlroy, Keane, Best, Stapleton and Whiteside.
In exclusive interviews with each of the 11, Moore reflects on Utd's history and the personal stories behind the public triumphs and disasters, asking what it is about the club that makes it "Ireland's team" and inspires players and fans alike to carry their loyalties over the Irish Sea to Manchester.
Part celebration, part critical history, United Irishmen is an enjoyable and thoughtful tribute to the emeralds in United's crown and a welcome addition to the ever growing Reds library.--Alex Hankin
Book Information
Every great Manchester United team has shared one common ingredient--each side throughout the Red Devils' illustrious history has had a touch of the Irish.
Written by Chris Moors, one of the thousands of United supporters in Ireland who make it the most popular team on the island, north and south, United Irishmen is a recognition of the invaluable contribution made by the Irishmen who have played competitive first-team football for Manchester United since the club was founded in 1878.
One man's dream team, it is a personal selection of the best 11 Irish players ever to appear in United's colours from Harry Gregg in the 50s Busby Babes, the world- class George Best who emerged in the 60s along with full-back Tony Dunne, and Sammy Mellroy and Jimmy Nicholl in the 70s, to the 80s and the emergence of defenders Kevin Moran and Paul McGarth, along with "Scouse buster" extraordinaire Norman Whiteside and top-class striker Frank Stapleton.
In the Premiership-dominating teams of the 90s, Alex Ferguson has maintained the strong Irish connection, with Denis Irwen and Roy Keane key players in the pursuit of domestic trophies and European glory.
