Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Manchester United

By Derek Hammond and Gary Silke

Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Manchester United is an Aladdin's cave of memories and memorabilia, guaranteed to whisk you back to Old Trafford's fondly remembered Golden Age of mud and magic, as well as a United-mad childhood of miniature tabletop games and imaginary, comic-fueled worlds. The book recalls a more innocent era of football, lingering longingly over relics from the good old days—Reds stickers and petrol freebies, league ladders, menus, big-match programs, and much more—revisiting lost football culture, treasures, and pleasures that are 100 per cent Manchester United. If you're a lifelong United fan, one of the army of obsessive soccer kids at any time from when Matt Busby's lads first lifted the European Cup to Fergie's first Premier League titles, then this is the book to recall the mavericks—Best and Law, Pearson and Coppell, Robson and Hughes—and the marvels of the Lost World of Football.
