My
Manchester United Years, by Sir Bobby Charlton (2007)
THIS book represents the first time England and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has told his story, in his own words.
In this, the first volume of his autobiography, he tells of the Munich air disaster of 1958 and the impact the tragedy had on his life and his football. Sir Bobby also charts his extraordinary career as one of the original Busby Babes, who went on to European Cup glory just 10 years after the devastating air crash, which all but wiped out Matt Busby's young side.
Sir Bobby, who wrote this book in conjunction with award-winning sports journalist James Lawton, also describes his early life growing up in a tight-knit community in Ashington, Northumberland, with brother Jack.
Simply an unmissable book by one of the English game's true gentlemen.
