Most people are only too aware of how the world of football has changed over the last century, whether it be the impact of media coverage,or changes in regulations governing all-seater stadia,or the impact of big transfer fees and similar wages. Ardent fans will have seen that while there are intrinsic values in their club which are still held dear,outwardly the development of grounds and the clubs' fortunes on and off the pitch have changed beyond all recognition. Few clubs epitomise this more than Manchester United.Its history is well- documented,but in 'United We Stand' readers are presented with a unique look at the club through the eyes of players,supporters,ground staff and journalists, who have witnessed either first hand or via the media the significant moments for both them and the club throughout United's life. It reveals their thoughts on the great teams, managers,players and events in the club's history and,through the fine detail of their recollections,captures some of the flavour and atmosphere of life behind the scenes,on the field,in the dressing room and on the terraces at Old Trafford.Through interviews with key people such as Sir Alex Ferguson,Sir Bobby Charlton,players from all eras,as well as fans from as far apart as Hong Kong,Mauritius and Australia,not forgetting the stalwarts of Manchester themselves,'United We Stand' attempts to get 'under the skin' of Manchester United - to find out what makes the club the success it is,what draws the supporters from across the planet,what makes a lady of 87 carry on working at an establishment when her contemporaries are more than happy to put their feet up,and what pleasure it gives to millions of people.From fleeting moments to life-changing events,'United We Stand' discovers the human element behind the most popular club in the world.
