Description
Brian Greenhoff's autobiography offers an intimate look at one of the most fascinating periods in Manchester United's history. Signed as an apprentice just weeks after the European Cup triumph of 1968, Greenhoff spent eleven years at Old Trafford, forming an iconic defensive partnership with Martin Buchan and helping the club win the Second Division title before taking the top flight by storm. Greenhoff shares his experiences of the famous youth policy of Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy, as well as his relationships with managers Tommy Docherty and Dave Sexton. He also lifts the lid on his time at Leeds and Rochdale, and reveals the breakdown of his relationship with brother James, one of the most famous footballing brothers in history. With honesty and humour, Greenhoff recounts his story, providing a unique perspective on a bygone era of football.
