The Men Who Made Manchester United: The Untold Story
“A great background spanning almost a hundred years on the men who made everything that followed possible. A must-read for any Manchester United fan.” –Gary Neville, former Manchester United captain
“At a time when money is king in football, this is an important insight into just how humble the beginnings of Manchester United were. These are human football stories but they also provide a slice of Manchester’s social history.” –John Murray, BBC Football Correspondent
The Men Who Made Manchester United brings you the definitive history of Manchester United before Sir Matt Busby’s post-war halcyon days.
Inside are tales that will make you squirm, laugh and cry, including:
- The transfer fee of two freezers of ice cream
- The tragic death of a young footballer and his forgotten family
- The fight for the right to unionise
- Edwardian Cockney Reds
- Severed fingers and the pelting stones of the angry residents of Budapest
As Victorian Britain was gripped by ‘the football craze’, eight men laid the foundations at one of the world’s greatest clubs. These pioneers ranged from miners to brewery owners, fitness fanatics to portly beer drinkers. From Stretford, Ancoats, Birmingham, Bolton, Darlington, Chirk and Crewe, some were rebels, others were leaders. All were grafters.
This is the story behind the club’s name and colours, the building of Old Trafford, the founding of the PFA and the creation of the Academy. It’s filled with tales that will fascinate and entertain, making it the perfect gift for Manchester United fans!

‘Unsuitable for Females’: The Rise of the Lionesses and Women’s Football in England
Shortlisted for the 2023 Sports Book Awards for Best Football Writing of the Year
Discover the origins of the Lionesses that brought football home.
England’s Lionesses are on the front and back pages; their stars feature on prime-time television; they are named in the national honours lists for their contribution to their sport and to society. The names of Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton and Ellen White are emblazoned across the backs of children’s replica jerseys. These women are top athletes – and top celebrities. But in 1921, the Football Association introduced a ban on women’s football, pronouncing the sport ‘quite unsuitable for females’.
That ban would last for half a century – but despite official prohibition the women’s game went underground. From the Dick, Kerr Ladies touring the world to the Lost Lionesses who played at the unsanctioned Women’s World Cup in Mexico in 1971, generations of women defied the restrictions and laid the foundations for today’s Lionesses – so much so that in 2018 England’s Women’s Super League became the first fully professional league in Europe…when just a few decades previously women were forbidden to play the sport in England at all.
This book tells the story of women’s football in England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers. The game might have once been banned because of its popularity – find out about the subversive women who kept organising their teams and matches despite the prohibition, who broke barriers and set records – the legends of the game who built the foundations of the stage upon which today’s stars flourish.
‘At what feels like a pivotal moment, Carrie’s forensic research and depth of knowledge make her the perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women’s football’ – Kelly Cates, TV presenter

For many football fans – including the author – Italia 90 is fondly remembered as the first World Cup that was truly theirs. While a lot has been written about the tournament itself, many stories surrounding that pivotal World Cup have been lost with the passage of time.
The book examines Italia 90 from a fresh new angle, unearthing an array of stories with this iconic World Cup at their heart that will fascinate football fans everywhere. While reading this superb collection of tales, you’ll learn about the other Schillaci who could have made it to the World Cup, the goalkeeper who went on to play in the NFL, the impact of the removal of the back-pass rule and the story behind the now-legendary kit worn by Germany.
Echoes of an Italian Summer is chock-full of World Cup nostalgia and previously untold tales.

What If?: Turning Points in the History of Sunderland AFC
Sunderland AFC’s official historian Rob Mason brings us a fascinating alternative history of the club as he ponders what could have been.
How would Sunderland have fared if they had appointed Brian Clough, who was turned down as manager? What might have happened if Jock Stein, who visited managerless Sunderland hoping for an opportunity before taking over at Celtic, had been given a chance? What if Bobby Robson hadn’t changed his mind after agreeing to leave Ipswich?
Diego Maradona, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kevin Keegan, Jackie Milburn and Ruud van Nistelrooy would make some forward line. All of them were potential signings. Imagine that quintet in red and white stripes!
What if Coventry City had kicked off on time against Bristol City in 1977 instead of delaying their kick-off and being able to relegate a youthful Sunderland side that had come back from the dead?
These and many other key moments are discussed by Mason as he considers what could have happened had these turning points taken a different direction.
