Manchester United: The Forgotten Fixtures completes the post-war history of Manchester United Football Club, as it covers, in text and statistics, the games that rarely receive a mention in the history books. The book starts its journey immediately after the war years and continues up to the present day. It takes you the length and breadth of Britain and from Mallorca to Melbourne and from Israel to Iran, detailing often meaningless games of football at obscure, out of the way places, while also looking back at the n-competitive fixtures played at Old Trafford. The League Championship and domestic cup triumphs and failures, along with those in the European competitions, have been well documented in the past, but here, for the first time, is the book that completes the Manchester United history in words and statistics. On the pages of Manchester United: The Forgotten Fixtures they are all here, some four hundred odd games. It testimonials details of ground openings and friendlies etc, from 1946 to the present day, bringing Manchester United's statistical history up to date. The history of Manchester United Football Club is w complete. Illustrated with t just photographs, but programme covers and match tickets and other items of memorabilia, is a United history with a difference and for the first time in print it covers all those 'Forgotten Fixtures' and many others that were t kwn about in the first place.
