Harry's Game: The Autobiography

by Harry Gregg

Has there ever been a period in any football club's history as perplexing as the 1950s and '60s at Manchester United? The Munich air crash dominated everything else. Millions of fans also remember the rise of the Busby Babes, the dark years of the early Sixties, and the glorious renaissance of the Best, Law and Charlton era. Harry Gregg was at the very centre of this phenomenal era, a vital participant in all the club's dramas. This book tells the inside story of one of the most important years of the world's biggest club. Gregg was an important political figure at Manchester United, a leader of the old guard and one of Matt Busby's closest "boys". He tells of the triumphs of the Babes, the 1958 Cup run, and the continent-conquering Sixties rebirth. He also looks at the darker days, misdeeds and boardroom moves as the Edwards dynasty tightened its grip.

[Lew]

This was enjoyable autobiography about one of the top goalkeepers in English football from the mid-50s to 60s. He was also a manager and coach. He played and coached for Manchester United. Most interesting part was that he was survivor of the 1958 Munich plane crash that killed many members of the Man U team. This book was published in the UK so the reader does need to have a good knowledge of British Football history from the 50s to the 90s. Harry is very opinionated which makes the book interesting.
