| Description |
The life and times of Dick Duckworth.
In its infancy Manchester United had a great team. Promotion, then five trophies in three years. That team created an expectation of success that survived a drought of 40 years until the Busby era.
Dick Duckworth was the only one to play throughout the club's Golden Age, from the phoenix-rise from the ashes of Newton Heath to the precipice of the epoch-ending Great War.
Dick Duckworth spent his career with one club. He played for no one else, except for his country, and yet he was denied his rightful England cap.
This book chronicles Manchester United through The Golden Age of English football before the Great War. Crowds grew dramatically, as did newspaper coverage. Colour, drama, gossip, spectacle. This is a driving story, told here for the first time.
24 x 16 cms, hardback, 192 pages.
