Eamonn Dunphy is (in)famous in Ireland for his public fall-out with Jack Charlton during the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Dunphy criticised Ireland`s less than Brazillian style of play and drew an angry response from the Irish manager. He was also a player with Millwall many years ago but crucially he started out at Manchester United at around the same time as people like Johnny Giles, Nobby Stiles and George Best. This gives him a perfect insight into what made Matt Busby the manager and also the man he was. This is a fabulous book, Dunphy tells some great stories about a club big on style and big on `bs`.
All the rows, cliques, petty thieving(?), adultery, back-stabbing and disrespect towards the manager are detailed, with one story that will guarantee a gasp of dis-belief from any reader! I can remember the crisis at United at the start of the Seventies, and this, for me, is the most fascinating section of the book. I only thought I knew the reasons for United`s downfall. A book that all football fans of a certain vintage must read.

Quite simply one of the best football books ever written. Painstakingly researched by a well-informed writer with first hand knowledge of his subject. Eamon Dunphy, with this title originally published in the early 90s, has provided us with a few of the great football books with Only a Game? and Roy Keane's ghosted autobiography. Looking forward to his own memoirs and the possibility of the work on George Best!
